Prototype Manufacturing: Have Your Prototype Built

Yes, FACTUREE offers rapid prototyping for companies in Germany through a network of over 2,000 certified manufacturing partners in Germany and Europe. Customers upload their CAD data, receive a quote within 24 hours, and typically get their prototypes within 9 to 12 business days. Additive manufacturing processes such as SLA, SLS, FDM, and SLM are ideal for particularly fast iterations, while milling, turning, or vacuum casting are suitable for production-ready prototypes.

FACTUREE typically delivers prototypes within 9 to 12 business days. For prototype production, FACTUREE relies on a network of over 2,000 certified manufacturing partners in Germany and Europe.

Customers upload their CAD data and receive a quote within 24 hours. Prototype production then begins immediately at a partner facility with available capacity. 3D-printed prototypes are usually available faster than milled or cast prototypes.

For functional prototypes, FACTUREE usually recommends machining because the parts are made from the same material as the eventual production part. For complex geometries, 3D printing is the faster alternative. If multiple near-production prototypes are needed, vacuum casting is more cost-effective. FACTUREE works with you to select the appropriate process based on load requirements, tolerances, and quantity.

Yes, FACTUREE also provides test reports, material certificates, measurement reports, and certificates of conformity for cast prototypes upon request. You specify the desired scope of documentation when you submit your request. This ensures that prototypes and subsequent production parts are tested according to the same criteria.

Yes, 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.

Yes, FACTUREE supports development departments as a digital procurement platform, from the initial prototype request through to mass production. Through a central interface, FACTUREE handles supplier sourcing, 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 provides prototype manufacturing services for companies from Mechanical engineering, Automotive, Medical Technology, Electrical industry, Robotics and automation, Aerospace and Research and Development. To meet industry-specific requirements for materials, tolerances, and documentation, FACTUREE selects suitable partners from its network of over 2,000 certified manufacturers. Prototypes and subsequent production parts are produced without having to switch suppliers.

Yes, FACTUREE manufactures valve prototypes for automation solutions using milling, turning, or 3D printing, depending on the functional requirements and material. Tight tolerances and sealing surfaces are handled by certified manufacturing partners with the appropriate experience. FACTUREE typically delivers these prototypes within 9 to 12 business days after order confirmation.
