Prototyping

After every design has passed our virtual simulations and engineering analysis, Abcor brings theory into reality through our Prototyping phase — the bridge between digital precision and real-world performance. This is where our manufacturing and engineering teams work hand-in-hand to produce the first physical version of a product, translating every technical drawing, tolerance, and process into action.

During this stage, fixtures, processes, and robotic programs are refined and optimised to handle the natural variations that only real production can reveal. Every adjustment, however minor, is logged, verified, and approved to ensure that when full-scale production begins, it runs flawlessly.

Each prototype undergoes meticulous dimensional verification using our industrial CMM equipment, capable of measuring to within 2 microns of accuracy. Once repeatability and dimensional precision are confirmed, our team conducts macro weld testing, cutting through welded joints to verify penetration and structural integrity. These detailed results are shared directly with our customers — clear evidence that our welds don't just meet specifications but comfortably exceed them.

From there, prototypes may undergo crash testing, durability trials, and in-house corrosion testing, ensuring the product can withstand every possible operating condition. The data from every trial is compiled into comprehensive validation reports provided to our customers — offering complete transparency and assurance that every Abcor prototype has been proven, measured, and perfected before it ever reaches full production.

Every product that leaves this stage carries more than our approval — it carries proof that it's built to perform, tested to endure, and engineered to represent the pride of our brand at Abcor.
