Prototype Tooling Parts and Applications

Prototype Tooling, Parts, and Applications

For projects not requiring long-term production (e.g., 10 to 500 parts), D&N Bending provides prototype tooling and applications with the same high quality as our standard production capabilities.​

Examples of prototype parts:

    • Door Frames
    • Upper Reveals
    • Belt Moldings & Assemblies
    • Glass Channel Reinforcements
    • Division Posts
    • Bumper Beams
    • Ditch Moldings
    • Various Roof Components

Applications & Core Capabilities:

D&N Bending specializes in a wide range of metal fabrication applications, including:

  • Stretch, Roller, Form & Reverse Bending
  • Weld and Assembly Fixtures
  • CNC and Robotic Machining
  • Hand Forming Devices for Metal Components
  • Drawbench – Pull-through Sections

The Value of Prototyping:​

At D&N Bending, we understand that every project is unique, requiring tailored product development. We consider prototyping a crucial stage, viewing it as an essential element for an efficient, cost-effective, and ultimately successful production process.​

Prototyping offers invaluable benefits, allowing for:

  • Hands-on inspection of tooling: Test the functionality of the tooling design and the precision of the parts it yields.​
  • Material performance testing: Evaluate how different materials react.​
  • Identification of design weaknesses: Pinpoint and correct issues early.​
  • Manufacturing process optimization: Refine production methods for efficiency.​
  • Avoidance of costly mistakes and delays: Proactive problem-solving saves time and money.​

Our Prototype Tooling Advantage:

Unlike traditional production tooling designed for long lifespans and millions of parts, our prototype tooling is engineered for speed and precision in limited runs. This makes it ideal for testing new designs and producing low-volume parts.​

Thanks to our innovation and 24-hour production capabilities, we deliver remarkably fast production times. We can complete prototype tooling in days, not weeks or months, significantly minimizing lead times for your project.
