A new prototype door handle is 3D CNC machined from a solid brass block for a major lock company. Note the work is "tabbed" in the block and will be cut away later in the band saw. Work was programmed in SurfCam by OMW Corporation.

Prototyping FAQs

OMW's machine shop can produce quality metal or plastic prototypes in single to 25 unit quantity in nearly any material, and sizes up to 24x40" or larger. OMW combines short lead times with internationally competitive pricing. Unlike many CNC machine shops, OMW has experience in both machined prototypes and newer rapid prototyping technologies. Whether your needs are aluminum, stainless steel, titanium or plastic, we can suggest the best approach to your prototyping need and provide a quick, cost-effective solution.

What is the turn around for a quote?

OMW will often provide quotes the same day, with a maximum time to quote of no more than 2-3 days.

What file types are required for a quote?

We can accept a wide variety of CAD files, including native Solidworks, ProE, or Inventor files, as well as generic file types such as STEP or IGES. CNC machined prototypes can also be produced from 2D CAD files, such as .DWG or .DXF (AutoCad), or even paper drawings.

Need parts in other metals or plastics? OMW is a full-service CNC machine shop and can produce parts in all metals and plastics such as these anodized aluminum laboratory parts. See our sample work page for more examples.

What is a typical turn-around for an order?

Machined orders are generally turned around in a few days to 1-2 weeks. If you need very fast turn-around, please contact us. We’ll try to work to your schedule.
