02 / Services

Rapid manufacturing services for prototypes and small batches

One workshop. One quote. Three ways to take your project from sketch to shipped part.

Rapid prototyping

A real, functional part in your hands within 24 hours.

Validate fit, ergonomics and intent on real material, not on a screen. Iterate as many times as you need before committing to tooling.

  •   Functional parts in 24h
  •   Mechanical-grade materials
  •   Free engineering review

Low volume production

From a dozen to a few thousand units, without injection-mold cost.

Bridge production, niche parts, custom-fit components and series-bridge runs. Mixed materials and finishes within a single batch.

  •   12 to 5000 units a month
  •   95%+ conformity rate
  •   Quality control + packaging in-house

Co-design & engineering

Engineers who already manufacture for a living.

Our team designs and ships ProTubeVR's own products. We refine your STL for durability, precision and cost, or design from a sketch.

  •   Free DfAM audit
  •   Material advice
  •   From concept to shipped part

03 / Process

From file to shipped part. Five steps, no surprise.

01

File sharing

Send your STL, STEP, OBJ or 3MF. Sketches and CAD references work too.

02

Technical review

Free audit by our experts, wall thickness, supports, tolerances and durability.

03

Material advice

We recommend the right material based on your mechanical and thermal constraints.

04

Production

Printed in under 24h. Visual quality check on every part before shipping.

05
