Automation Prototyping and On-Demand Manufacturing

Automation prototypes include preliminary designs of robots or physical models of automation control systems. They are manufactured through rapid prototyping for testing, verifying concepts or showing them to potential customers, accelerating the process from design to market. On-demand manufacturing produces products according to demand and provides customized production solutions to meet personalized needs.

Brightstar Rapid Prototyping and On-Demand Manufacturing Services

Brightstar relies on years of experience in prototyping and manufacturing in the field of automation, using advanced rapid prototyping technology and digital manufacturing processes to provide high-performance prototypes and components for the automation industry. Focusing on the automated production of industrial components, from simple automatic parts to complex automation facilities, Brightstar's experienced technical and quality control team is committed to providing ultimate solutions for a variety of automation equipment.

Concept Verification: Prototyping

In the automation industry, prototyping is a key step in the product development process. It involves converting design concepts into physical models for testing, evaluation and iteration, verifying designs, and reducing development risks. Brightstar Rapid Prototyping, with 200+ metal and non-metal production-grade materials, provides fast and precise manufacturing services for the automation industry with professional and advanced equipment, including precision CNC machining services, complex structure 3D printing services, sheet metal parts manufacturing, small batch vacuum die-casting, and economical aluminum and copper rapid tooling and cost-effective injection molding services, as well as exquisite surface treatment services. In the manufacturing process of up to 17 years, it has provided customers with high-quality and precise prototypes for more than 10k+ projects.

 
Design optimization, prototype iteration

As the design progresses, rapid prototyping helps engineers refine and optimize the product. By iterating the prototype and providing a clear visual representation, design defects can be discovered and resolved, and mechanical structure, electronic integration, and software control can be improved. Based on our expertise in prototype manufacturing and our understanding of the automation industry, we deeply understand engineers' requirements for products, and at the same time provide manufacturing suggestions and manufacture prototypes according to the determined plan.

Functional and engineering verification, prototype optimization

Our prototypes, which simulate the final product, are used to conduct rigorous functional, engineering testing and durability evaluation. This includes testing the function and aesthetics of the automated product, endurance and response under simulated actual working conditions, optimizing the design through iterative prototyping and material selection, while ensuring manufacturing feasibility, thereby verifying quality during product life cycle testing, saving time and resources.

 
Production verification, small batch production

Before the product is ready for production, small batch rapid prototypes are used to determine the best manufacturing process and assembly process. At this stage, our prototypes help developers optimize production efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure production repeatability and manufacturability, simplifying your large-scale production design through our mass production capabilities and professional quality control.

Marketing and before mass production

Before the product is about to enter the market, rapid prototypes are used for final marketing and customer demonstrations. At the same time, the final iteration results of the prototype are used to guide the production of the first batch of products to ensure that the mass-produced products are consistent with the prototypes in quality and performance. We provide production-grade quality prototype components to quickly move your product from prototype to mass production.
