Rapid Gasket Prototyping Services

When a prototype is needed, we can create it in your chosen material and ship it to your door in as little as one day. With our extensive inventory and advanced digital cutting capabilities, we’re equipped to produce high-quality samples for your project with minimal lead time.

After testing, our streamlined process allows you to submit new designs for additional revisions, ensuring you achieve the exact fit and best materials required for your project.

PROTOTYPING CAPABILITIES:

Simply provide a CAD file and details about your application, and we can produce prototypes with rapid turnaround, utilizing materials from our extensive inventory. Our software-guided digital cutting equipment allows us to initiate production with little notice. Depending on project needs, we typically use one of three digital cutting machines:

This versatile machine handles heavy, flexible, and semi-rigid materials with precision. It’s ideal for producing gaskets and other components in custom shapes and sizes, with close-tolerance accuracy.

Perfect for converting thicker materials like silicones and dense foams, waterjet cutting creates clean, precise edges with no concavity or heat-affected zones.

Laser cutting is ideal for intricate and complex designs, quickly achieving close tolerances that save you time and cost.

Common Applications

With our prototyping services, you can quickly move into the testing phase, creating design variations and testing multiple materials.

Verify design: Prototypes confirm the overall fit of components and their integration with the final unit.

Test materials: Prototyping allows you to test different adhesive tapes or foam materials in real-world scenarios to refine your final material selection.

Assess functionality: Evaluate durability, stress resistance, and performance criteria for various materials and adhesives.

Evaluate aesthetics: Review the overall look and feel of the product, ensuring that gaskets and components integrate seamlessly with the final design.

At TXG, we’re committed to helping you achieve your vision with speed, precision, and quality.
