Why Rapid Prototyping Matters

Prototyping is a crucial stage in product development, particularly for complex geometries and high-performance materials. Key benefits include:

  • Early validation of design and functionality

  • Identification of manufacturing challenges before full-scale production

  • Cost reduction by minimizing design errors

  • Faster time-to-market for aerospace, medical, and industrial components

At EadeTech, we specialize in precision prototypes for hard-to-machine metals, providing tight tolerances, complex shapes, and functional surfaces in small quantities.

  • CNC Machining (Turning, Milling, Drilling)

  • EDM Machining (Wire & Sinker EDM)

  • Grinding & Finishing for tight tolerances and smooth surfaces

  • Additive Manufacturing / 3D Metal Printing for Titanium and Nickel alloys

  • Surface Treatments including anodizing and coating
