An in-house service that Michael Austin Industries has available to our customers is the ability to prototype your complex part and produce it in short run quantities, which will aid in the testing phases. Excelling greatly in this area, we enjoy working closely with our customer to allow the realization of dreams through a hands-on customer approach.   Many established companies, as well as new inventors have been assisted in bringing their brain child to life.

Here at MAI, specific prototype needs can be handled in several ways. Our experienced staff can create a prototype from CAD/CAM files, CNC programs, a simple sketch or if you have an existing part, it can be reversed engineered in order to move toward production. The same high precision CNC machine tools used for production runs will be utilized to make your prototype ideas a reality.

MAI offers design and engineering assistance, help in determining the manufacturability of the needed component and provide best choice material recommendations. Our knowledgeable staff has years of experience using AutoCAD (Computer Aided Design) to design and MasterCam (Computer Aided Machining) to program the CNC machines. Once the prototype has been approved, MAI can handle your short run requirements quickly and efficiently.
