Shengqi supports CNC prototype machining for engineers and sourcing teams that need functional metal or plastic parts before a small-batch or repeat production release.
Use machined prototypes to check fit, assembly, interfaces, appearance, and function before committing to repeat production.
Suitable for one-off parts, engineering samples, trial runs, and small batches where tooling investment is not appropriate.
Keep the released CAD model, drawing revision, material, finish, and inspection requirements as the design moves into repeat orders.
Prototype accuracy is reviewed against the part drawing and its functional interfaces. Equipment specifications are reference points only; final part tolerance depends on geometry, material, size, workholding, datums, and any post-machining finish.
| Reference | Published Information | What It Means for Your Project |
|---|---|---|
| DMG MORI DMU50 machining center | Listed machining accuracy: 0.002 mm | Reference for precision milled prototype features |
| FANUC CNC machining center | Listed machining accuracy: 0.01 mm | Reference for custom housings, brackets, plates, and components |
| Inspection equipment | Automatic coordinate measuring machine, height gauge, and image measuring instrument | Checks can focus on critical fits, locations, heights, and assembly interfaces |
STEP or STP is preferred for 3D geometry. Include a dimensioned PDF drawing with datums, critical tolerances, threads, surface finish, and revision information.
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGS, and Parasolid files can also be reviewed. If the model and drawing differ, identify which file controls the released design.
State the material or acceptable alternatives, heat treatment, anodizing, etching, laser engraving, painting, dyeing, assembly, and cosmetic requirements.
Provide the CAD file, drawing, quantity, material, finish, tolerance, and required delivery date.
We review geometry, manufacturing scope, critical features, inspection needs, and post-processing requirements.
The quotation defines price, production scope, and the lead time available for the approved specification.
After machining and any agreed finishing, the parts are checked against the project requirements before packing and shipment.
Rapid CNC prototyping does not have one fixed turnaround for every design. Timing varies with part complexity, material availability, quantity, inspection requirements, finishing, and assembly. The confirmed lead time is provided after the drawing review. Include your target date in the RFQ so urgent prototype requirements can be assessed before production starts.
Continue from prototype validation to trial production and recurring small-batch orders.
