Form, Fit & Function Test Parts

Test parts built to check that a design fits, assembles and works before anyone commits to a mold or a production run.

Applications › Prototypes, Fixtures & Production Aids

A fit check costs a day; a wrong mold costs a quarter. We build test parts to the drawing in the production material so you can assemble them to the mating parts, run them on the machine and measure them. Several variations can be built at once to settle a dimension or a feature on evidence.

Typical examples

  • Fit checks against mating parts
  • Assembly trials for a new sub-assembly
  • Dimensional studies with several variants
  • Function tests of snaps, hinges and threads
  • Pre-mold confirmation parts
