Reliable Rapid Prototyping Service Provider from China
Robotika is a professional rapid prototyping manufacturer in China. Our rapid prototyping service is designed to accelerate design validation, reduce development risks, and save costs by avoiding errors before mass production. We provide DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis, material recommendations, and solutions for challenging geometries such as thin walls, complex cavities, and snap-fit features. Whether you require prototypes for assembly testing, surface finishing evaluation, or real-world performance trials, Robotika ensures high precision and consistent quality.
Every year, Robotika delivers thousands of prototype and bridge-production parts to industries including automotive, medical devices, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods. Our flexible production setup enables us to support everything from one-off prototype runs to low-volume manufacturing, offering reliable lead times, tight tolerances, and professional engineering support at every stage of product development.
Our Rapid Prototyping Capabilities
Robotika’s rapid prototyping services are built around our core strength in CNC machining, including CNC Milling, Rapid Tooling, Metal Prototyping and Plastic Prototyping. We support a wide range of materials, from commonly used plastics such as ABS, PC, PP, PA, PMMA, and PEEK, to metals including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and titanium. We offer multiple finishing options including polishing, anodizing, bead blasting, powder coating, painting, electroplating, and silk screen printing. Depending on the process and material, our tolerances reach ±0.01 mm for CNC-machined metal parts, ±0.02–0.05 mm for CNC-machined plastic prototypes, and about ±0.05 mm for rapid injection-molded components. All prototypes are inspected with precision measurement systems such as CMMs and optical devices to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and production-like quality.
High-precision machining for complex 2D and 3D geometries, ideal for creating functional prototypes and production-quality parts.
Advanced multi-axis capability for intricate designs, undercuts, and freeform surfaces with superior accuracy.
Fast, cost-effective tooling solutions that enable short-run plastic prototypes and bridge production.
High-precision prototypes in aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, delivering production-like strength and performance for functional testing.
Fast and cost-effective solutions for creating accurate plastic parts that validate design, fit, and function before mass production.

Rapid Prototyping Design Guide
In this guide to Rapid Prototyping, you’ll learn how to create efficient, manufacturable metal and plastic parts for prototyping and production.
Our Rapid Prototyping Capabilities
CNC Machining Prototyping
CNC machining is one of the most high-precision rapid prototyping technologies available.
Turnarounds are fast in low volumes, and CNC prototyping produces parts not too far from production quality. The cost is higher than 3D printing but the surface finish and part strength are often superior.
- CNC Milling — Milled prototype & production parts in plastic and metal
- CNC Turning — All types of round components
- CNC Grinding —Tight tolerance and good surface
- CNC EDM —For deep pocket & sharp conners.
Rapid Vacuum Casting
Rapid vacuum casting is a low-cost prototyping service for the production of low-cost plastic parts, particularly items like colorful display models.
Advantages of rapid vacuum casting include very low tooling costs compared to injection molding. And although vacuum cast parts are not especially durable, they come out of the mold with an excellent surface finish without post-processing.
The silicone mold used for rapid vacuum casting typically lasts around 20 shots, ideal for most prototyping scenarios.
- Rigid Plastics —Such as ABS, PC, PA simulate prototype parts
- Soft Rubber —Rubber like prototypes from Shore A 30 to 90 degrees.
- Wax —Patterns for low-vlume investment casting
Prototyping Tooling
Prototyping tooling for molding is ideal when the customer requires between 100–2,000 units of their injection molded parts; more than this and production-level steel tooling may be preferred.
Advantages of rapid tooling include fast turnarounds and the ability to carry out prototyping and testing of injection molded parts that might otherwise take months to produce. Rapid tooling is also significantly cheaper than mass production tooling.
Although rapid tooling and rapid injection molding is more expensive than 3D printing, it provides plastic parts much nearer to production quality that can therefore be used for functional testing.

- Metal Prototyping Service
Sheet Metal Molding
Sheet metal molding is ideal for producing precise and durable metal parts in medium to high volumes. It is widely used for enclosures, brackets, and mechanical assemblies requiring strength and accuracy.
It offers short production cycles, high repeatability, and cost efficiency compared with machining, supporting materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and copper.
Though tooling costs are higher than simple fabrication, sheet metal molding ensures tight tolerances, consistent quality, and excellent surface finishes for both prototypes and production parts.
