Why Partner with W&K for Prototyping?

Fast Lead Times

We prioritise prototype orders to help you meet design review and testing schedules.

All Materials

We machine prototypes in any engineering material — aluminium, steel, brass, plastics, and more.

DFM Guidance

Our machinists provide practical design for manufacture advice to reduce cost and improve quality.

Scalable Production

We can scale seamlessly from prototypes to full production as your project progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prototype lead times vary by complexity and our current workload, but we prioritise development work and can often turn around simple prototypes within days. Call us on 01377 271041 to discuss your timeline and we will do our best to meet it.

We regularly produce single one-off prototypes. There is no minimum quantity — if you need one part to prove a design, that is exactly what we will make for you.

We prefer a CAD file or formal dimensioned drawing, but we have worked from detailed sketches and physical samples. Our team can help create a working drawing from your concept — talk to us about what you have available.

We can prototype in virtually any machinable metal or engineering plastic — steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium, and engineering plastics. Using the intended production material for your prototype gives you the most accurate representation of final part performance.

Yes — and this is one of the main benefits of prototyping with us. Once your design is proven we can move directly into batch or series production using the same team, machines, and processes, with no re-qualification or learning curve.

Yes. Our experienced machinists and engineers will flag any features that may be difficult or costly to produce and suggest alternatives that retain the design intent while improving manufacturability and reducing cost.
