Metal prototype production

Are you developing a new product, machine, or construction and would you like to have a metal part produced as a medium or high fidelity prototype? Order it from 247TailorSteel. Simply upload your drawing to our online software Sophia® and receive a quote within 1 minute. We ensure that your prototype fully meets your specifications, is manufactured to the highest quality standards, and is delivered on the agreed date.

High quality is the standard

We use laser cutting to create custom prototypes. This advanced technique is one of the fastest ways to achieve customization and ensures cuts with extremely accurate tolerances. The result is a sleek finish that is immediately ready for further processing, assembly, or installation.

Thanks to our expertise and modern machinery, we create prototypes that perfectly match your technical specifications. It goes without saying that our products guarantee the highest quality standards. You can read more about this in our quality standards.

Choice of various metals and processes

At 247TailorSteel, you can have your prototype manufactured from various metals and using different processes.

We can custom-make plates, tubes (round and square) and profiles from steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. For brass, we only make plates. Thanks to laser cutting, we can create (almost) any shape you want.

More information, such as minimum dimensions, maximum thicknesses, and tolerances, can be found here:

A complete overview of our materials can be found in our material overview. Is your desired metal not listed on this page? Please contact our Customer Service. We will be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.

Various finishing processes are available for sheet metal. For example, we can break the edges and round corners. We can also mark and/or engrave your single piece (for identification purposes), cut holes, and tap threads in holes. In addition, bending is also an option for creating 3D products from metal sheets.

Sophia® is ideal for the production of prototypes

Our online software Sophia® offers countless advantages, but two stand out when itcomes to prototypes.

1. Your design is immediately checked for manufacturability. Upload your 3D drawing and the preliminary check will start. This built-in check assesses whether your prototype can actually be made on our press brakes. If this is not the case, you will receive feedback on where this goes wrong and you will need to adjust the design. This allows you to tackle problems in the production process at an early stage.

2. Quotes are generated real time. This means that you will always receive a quote within 1 minute, but also that we provide quotes for single items and small series. Ideal for a single prototype. In addition, this, in combination with our fast delivery time, guarantees an unhindered turnaround of your prototype development.

Prices, ordering, and delivery

In our online software Sophia®, you can easily upload your drawing(s) and receive a quote within 1 minute. It doesn't matter whether you want to have a single piece or a large series produced. Prices in the metal industry vary greatly. That's why your quote is valid for 48 hours.

You can also easily indicate whether you want your prototype delivered or want to pick it up yourself. We deliver throughout a great part of Western Europe. Pickup is possible at your nearest branch.
