CAD TO PARTS. WITHOUT THE LAB.
Wyntek helps Australian hardware teams move from CAD to functional prototype using the right mix of 3D printing, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly through one remote lab workflow.
WHAT LEAVES THE LAB
- 3D printed prototype parts
- CNC-machined production-intent parts
- Finishing and assembly notes
- Revision tracking
- First article feedback
FROM FILE TO PART
- 01
Define
Send CAD, quantities, constraints, target materials, and the question the prototype needs to answer.
- 02
Route
Match each part to the right process: FDM, SLA, SLS, CNC milling, CNC turning, or assembly.
- 03
Build
The lab produces the prototype and keeps progress visible through status updates.
- 04
Revise
Use the result to update CAD, then run the next iteration without rebuilding a supplier list.
REAL JOB PATTERNS
Representative build profiles, shown as process guidance rather than polished portfolio theatre.
| Part | Process | Material | Spec | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wearable enclosure prototype | SLA + inserts | Tough resin | Cosmetic shell, fasteners | Iteration build |
| Robotics end effector | CNC + FDM fixture | 6061 + PETG | Machined interface | Functional test |
| IoT pilot kit | Mixed process | PETG + aluminium | Small assembled run | Pre-production |
Prototype around the unknown
Good prototypes answer a specific risk: will it fit, carry load, survive heat, look right, assemble cleanly, or pass customer review? The process should follow that risk, not a default machine choice.
One lab, multiple processes
Many prototypes need printed geometry and machined interfaces. Keeping those jobs in one workflow reduces vendor handoff and keeps revisions cleaner.
COMMON QUESTIONS
- What is rapid prototyping?
- Rapid prototyping is the fast production of physical parts to test a design before full manufacturing. It can include 3D printing, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly.
- Can Wyntek build functional prototypes?
- Yes. Wyntek supports functional prototypes using 3D printed and CNC-machined parts, with process selection based on the test goal.
- Do I need finished CAD?
- You need enough geometry to manufacture the part. If tolerances, material, or assembly details matter, include those notes with the upload.
