Rapid prototyping automates the fabrication of a prototype part from a three-dimensional (3-D) CAD drawing. These physical models convey more complete information about the product earlier in the development cycle

Contract manufacturing services provide parts and equipment on behalf of original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The design and brand name remain the property of the OEM. Contract manufacturing may involve a complete range of services from design and prototyping to final production, assembly, and quality assurance for complete products

Gear manufacturing services design and fabricate gears to customer specifications

Rapid prototyping equipment produces a three-dimensional (3D) paper, plastic, wax, ceramic or metal prototype or pattern

Printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication services design and fabricate circuit boards. They differ from electronic manufacturing services, which populate and assemble boards. 

Metal casting involves the shaping of free-flowing liquid metals through the use of dies, molds or patterns.

Silicone molding services produce molded components made from silicone or liquid silicone rubber.

Electronics assembly service companies based on providing contract design, manufacturing, and related product support services on behalf of electronics OEMs

Sheet metal fabrication services manufacture components by cutting, bending, rolling, forming, stamping, and welding sheet metal

Mechanical assembly services are contract manufacturing and fabrication services that assemble mechanical parts, components, equipment, and systems

Extrusion includes the manufacture of lengths of cross-sectional shapes and profiles.  Extruded products are available in a wide variety of materials and material combinations

Production machining services providers have the capability to output large production runs using a variety of machining services.

Magnesium and magnesium alloys are nonferrous metals with low density, good ductility, moderate strength and good corrosion resistance.

Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others. 

Industrial design services develop and enhance the appearance, usability, and value of many types of products. Considerations include product styling and architecture, as well as ergonomic and safety considerations.
