Rapitypes specialise in the prototyping and low-volume manufacture of metal components.Using the latest 3 & 5 axis high speed CNC machining centres and CNC EDM, Rapitypes can produce highly accurate components in the selected target materials, direct from CAD data.cnc precision machining parts
This can be very useful at the early development stage if the chosen route to production is pressure die casting, sand casting or investment casting for instance. As a method of obtaining metal parts very quickly prior to committing to production tooling, and in as close as can be achieved target materials, the CNC solution can deliver a wide spectrum of options to satisfy critical test evaluation.
High speed CNC machining can also be a solution for low-volume production requirements – if the predicted volumes do not warrant an investment in mould tooling, this option can be an attractive alternative.
Rapitypes has offered these services for more than 20 years, and
brought a unique support mechanism to the medical, scientific,
automotive and consumer product sectors. Precision pre-production
prototype and low volume production parts are our focus, and with the
machine shop, QA and design support facilities under one roof, we can
confidently say that we have the means to give our clients that all
important business edge.
Our CNC machining facility operates with
Delcam Power Mill and we can accept CAD data in IGES, STEP,
Pro-Engineer, Rhino and Solid Works. 2D data can be imported as DXF, and
DWG and Rapitypes offer a full CAD engineering service for component
design and reverse engineering from 2D data, or even from existing parts
by laser scanning.
