Industrial validation

Why a machined prototype before the run?

A pre-production prototype makes it possible to validate assembly, tolerances and mechanical behavior before committing to tooling or volume production.

CNC machining or 3D printing offer short lead times to iterate quickly on the design.

Lusinage supports the move from prototype → pre-series → series with the same quality standards.
