Product Development & Prototyping

IntriPlex prototyping is the proof point of our innovative manufacturing solutions.

Following the lifecycle of precision components, rapid prototyping is used to manufacture quality parts in relatively small numbers that address key functional requirements.

22 Years of Manufactured Components

Drawing upon our extensive database of manufactured components from the last 22 years, IntriPlex has the ability to deliver prototype solutions for real world product testing and confirmation in 3-4 weeks.

Preparation for high volume production, prototyping is used to validate components and manufacturing processes. Solutions are delivered through IntriPlex metal forming operations combined with a suite of secondary processing capabilities.

IntriPlex Prototyping Process

Customer Engagement

The first part of the prototyping process is the most important - engagement with the customer. Following an initial call and discussion of scope, our technical team will engage and understand the design space based on system-level functional requirements. Commercial considerations including volume and price targets are also factored in at this stage.

Strategy Development

Based on customer functional requirements, a solution strategy is developed that is based on stage-gate methodology to minimize risk. Various manufacturing options are explored to ensure that prototyping processes are scalable for ultimate volume requirements. These factors are synthesized into an overall prototype plan and engagement plan that meet customer budgetary and technical needs.

Delivery & Validation

A clear understanding of constraints and resulting strategy provide a clear path for prototype manufacture and more detailed design analysis. Key functional requirments and risk factors are addressed. Testing and validation work at IntriPlex Laboratory and the customer ensure that the manufacturing approach satisfies all project objectives and demonstrates volume viability.

This rigorous prototype process provides the basis for a smooth transition into volume production supports more extensive product and process validation during this transition.
