AISI 1020 low carbon steel is a popular choice for prototyping due to its relatively low cost, good machinability, and reasonable strength and durability. It's commonly used for a wide range of applications, from automotive components to industrial machinery parts.

One example of a prototype part we've produced in AISI 1020 steel is a small gear. Using our high-precision CNC milling machines, we were able to fabricate a complex gear geometry with intricate tooth profiles and tight tolerances. This allowed our customer to thoroughly test the fit, function, and performance of the gear design before committing to full-scale production.

We've also leveraged our CNC turning capabilities to create prototype shafts and axles, which are critical components in many mechanical assemblies. By programming our lathes to exacting specifications, we can produce these parts with precise dimensions, accurate concentricity, and superior surface finish – all of which are essential for ensuring proper fit and function during the prototype stage.

Another application is the manufacture of prototype brackets and housings. Our CNC machining centers enable us to quickly and efficiently machine complex 3D geometries from AISI 1020 steel, allowing our customers to evaluate the form, fit, and structural integrity of their designs before moving to final production.

In addition to milling and turning, we also utilize CNC plasma cutting and wire EDM to create prototype parts with specialized features, such as intricate cutouts, complex profiles, or tight internal tolerances. These advanced machining techniques give us the flexibility to bring even the most challenging prototype designs to life.

Throughout the prototyping process, we maintain strict quality control measures, including in-process inspections, dimensional verification, and 100% final part inspection. This ensures that each prototype component meets the required specifications and performs as expected, allowing our customers to have full confidence in their designs before scaling up to production.
