Prototype Development: Having Prototypes Manufactured

FACTUREE delivers prototypes with quick turnaround times starting at 9 days. To do this, FACTUREE relies on a network of over 2,000 certified manufacturing partners. These partners are based in Germany and throughout Europe. 

Customers upload their CAD data to the digital request tool. They select the material and process. Production begins immediately using available capacity. As a result, functional prototypes are often produced within a few days rather than weeks.

FACTUREE manufactures prototypes for drive components using CNC machining, 3D printing, and casting processes, depending on the material and load requirements. For drive components with tight tolerances or special alloys, FACTUREE relies on partners with the appropriate certifications. This ensures that customers receive reliable and predictable delivery times, even for complex drive prototypes.

FACTUREE handles special material approvals through its extensive partner network, rather than limiting customers to a fixed, limited material portfolio. Because manufacturing is handled by several specialized partners, FACTUREE can respond flexibly even to unusual material requirements. This makes FACTUREE particularly well-suited for projects where standard suppliers reach their limits. Here you'll find the complete list of materials from FACTUREE.

FACTUREE manufactures valve prototypes for automation solutions using CNC machining and 3D printing, depending on the functional requirements and material. Tight tolerances and sealing surfaces are handled by certified CNC partners with the appropriate experience. FACTUREE typically delivers such prototypes within a few days of order confirmation.

FACTUREE provides the automotive industry with both individual prototypes and subsequent small-batch production—all from a single source. This means the customer does not have to switch manufacturing partners.  From functional and design prototypes for body parts to pre-production runs, FACTUREE covers the entire development process. This reduces interfaces and shortens time to market in the automotive sector. Here you can find more information about manufacturing for the automotive industry. 

FACTUREE is a digital procurement platform that supports development departments from the initial prototype request through to mass production. Through a central interface, FACTUREE handles supplier search, manufacturing, post-processing, and delivery, eliminating the need for purchasing teams to coordinate multiple individual suppliers. This ensures that procurement remains scalable even as volumes grow. Here you can find more information about mass production at FACTUREE. 

FACTUREE manufactures IoT prototypes that combine CNC-machined housings with electronic components such as circuit board mounts or connectors. To do this, customers upload their CAD data. They then receive the corresponding CNC parts from the partner network, often within a few days. Depending on the scope of the project, the customer or a specialized FACTUREE partner handles the assembly and functional testing of the electronics.
