Prototypes & Low
Volume Production
Prototypes and Low Volume parts are cut by a CNC controlled laser, waterjet or
turret press and formed using a CNC controlled press brake or an OBI press when
special forming is required. Star can develop prototypes directly from a CAD
file eliminating the drawing release cycle during product development. Star can
also scan a flat blank developed by any means utilizing our laser scanner and
create a DXF file which can be used to generate a part program. Star offers
prototypes and low volume production with aggressive delivery schedules and
competitive cost.
