Prototype Projects is the engineer’s choice for high-quality prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
From 3D Printing, CNC Machining and Injection Moulding to Rapid Prototyping, Model Making, Vacuum Casting and Laser Cutting, we’re known for our expertise, fast turnaround times and commitment to quality. Based in Royston, Hertfordshire, we’ve been supporting product development teams since 1980.
As a leading prototyping hub, we provide a comprehensive bureau service with an integrated approach. Our customers benefit from a wide range of in-house capabilities, including 3D printing, CNC machining, injection moulding, vacuum casting, model making, paint finishing and more.
Trust Prototype Projects to bring your ideas to life with speed, quality, and the services engineers depend on.
From prototype to production-ready.
Our customers rely on us for more than parts. With a full suite of services – from 3D Printing, CNC Machining and Injection Moulding through to finishing and assembly – we provide the flexibility to support every stage of product development.
Whether you need a one-off prototype, a short run for trials, or low-volume production parts, we’ll help you select the right process, materials and finishing options to achieve the results you need, on the timescale you choose.
3D Printing
Looking for 3D printing expertise? Our full range of 3D prototyping services is backed by years of experience and trusted by companies across the UK.
CNC Parts
Plastic and metal components machined to your exact requirements. CNC turning and 3- and 5-axis milling ensure consistent, reliable results.
Injection Moulding
Bridging the gap between prototyping and production, our UK-made tooling and low-volume moulding service delivers high-quality plastic parts quickly and cost-effectively.
Vacuum Casting
Need small batches of high-quality prototypes? Vacuum casting produces polyurethane parts with properties similar to injection moulded polymers.
Model Making
When off-the-shelf prototyping won’t cut it, model making brings complex designs to life through hands-on craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Laser Cutting
Fast, accurate cutting for plastics and thin metals, ideal for prototypes, enclosures and small-batch components.
