Rapid protoptyping
Given the current state of the art in rapid prototyping and CNC machine tools, it would be simple to find a company

to produce metal or plastic prototype fasteners to a 3D CAD model or 2D drawing. However, if functional prototypes are required, it may be prudent to reduce the project risk by approaching a fastener specialist rather than a generic rapid prototyping bureau or machine shop, as the specialist is more likely to understand the true functional requirements for a fastener. This is particularly so when the project is likely to require high volumes of production parts, as in-service failures could be extremely problematic. l
