Consulting & Prototyping
Flexible and individual
The manufacture of a product is a multi-stage process. The largest amount of work is in the steps before the actual production of the final product. The basis for the production of new products is the contact and communication between our employees and our customers, otherwise no smooth order processing can take place.
Together we discuss your individual wishes and specifications. This is followed by prototyping, which is the center of pre-processing and has an impact on the further course of the process.
Due to the importance of these first process steps, the design and development of new workpieces is one of our core competences.
Prototype creation and design
A prototype represents a first model of a planned product and often corresponds to the technical characteristics of the later end product. Prototypes often serve as preparation for a serial production, but can also be planned as a single piece, which should only represent a certain concept. On the one hand, a prototype is used to test the suitability of the product. On the other hand, the production of a prototype can be used to work on the design, so that the model initially only externally corresponds to the final product.
The term prototyping refers to various modern methods of prototype production. LES GRAVEURS specializes, among other things, in the rapid prototyping process. This is a manufacturing process that aims to convert existing CAD data quickly and directly into the desired workpiece without manual detours.

By using prototyping processes in product manufacturing, there are two important advantages:
- Detect and eliminate errors at an early stage
Prototyping identifies errors before they become a problem in later production. By detecting the errors at an early stage, they can be corrected in good time so that costs and time can be saved in the further process and the workpiece is also optimized. - Transparent work
The rapid creation of models makes it possible to document the development status of a product in a tangible form, both for us and for our customers. Thus, both sides get an impression of the work and can better work together on it.
Our prototyping services
LES GRAVEURS advises you competently when it comes to the development of prototypes and their design. Using the latest techniques, we translate your wishes and specifications into initial designs.
FAQ – Consulting & Prototyping
What is prototyping and why is it important?
Prototyping refers to the process of creating an initial model of a planned product, often incorporating the technical characteristics of the final product. It serves to test the viability of a design, detect and fix errors early, and provides a tangible representation of the product before mass production begins.
What are the benefits of prototyping?
Prototyping offers two key advantages: It enables the early identification and correction of errors before they affect mass production, and it facilitates transparent collaboration between us and our clients by presenting the development progress in a tangible form. This saves time and costs while optimizing the final product.
What prototyping methods do you use?
Among others, we use the rapid prototyping process, in which CAD data is quickly transformed into the desired part without manual detours. This method enables fast production of prototypes, which efficiently support the development process.
What are the steps involved in developing a prototype?
The first step is consultation and discussion of your individual requirements and specifications. After that, we create technical designs and initial models to test the design and functionality. Using modern techniques, we then transform the designs into a prototype, which serves as a foundation for further developments or mass production.
Can the prototype be used just for design testing?
Yes, a prototype can also be used exclusively for design testing. In such cases, the model will visually resemble the final product, allowing the design to be reviewed and adjusted as needed without the prototype incorporating all the technical features of the final product.
