Prototypes are the crucial step between idea and series production. They make concepts tangible, enable functional testing, and reduce development risks at an early stage. Professional prototype construction allows design, technology, and materials to be tested in realistic conditions – long before series production begins.
As an experienced prototype manufacturer, 1zu1scale has been supporting companies for over 30 years in the production of prototypes for a wide range of industries.
Prototype Production – flexible, precise, close to Series Production
Modern prototype production is not just about speed, but also about quality and repeatability. Our prototype production is designed to replicate real-world conditions and create a sound basis for decision-making for series production.
We manufacture:
- Concept and design prototypes
- Functional and stress prototypes
- Production-ready prototypes
- Pre-production and pilot components
Processes for the Manufacture of Prototypes
Depending on the requirements, we use different technologies in prototype construction:
- Additive manufacturing (3D printing): SLS, SLA, for rapid iterations
- Vacuum casting: production-ready prototypes in small series
- CNC manufacturing: precise prototype parts with tight tolerances
- Hybrid solutions: combination of several processes for optimal results
This results in efficient and scalable prototype production.
Why choose 1zu1scale as your Prototype Manufacturer?
- Over 30 years of experience in prototype construction
- Fast response times and short development cycles
- Technology- and material-neutral consulting
- Series-oriented thinking right from the start
- Seamless transition from prototype to small series
Our goal: to support companies in getting from concept to market readiness quickly, safely, and efficiently.
Industries & Areas of Application
Our prototype manufacturing is used in, among other things:
- Industry & mechanical engineering
- Medical technology
- Automotive & mobility
- Consumer goods & electronics
- Research & development
For us, a prototype is not an end product, but rather the first step toward series production. This conviction led to the founding of 1zu1scale almost 30 years ago.

FAQ – Prototypes & Prototype Manufacturing
Prototype construction describes the development and production of the first functional components prior to series production.
Faster development, lower risk, better product quality.
Yes, prototypes are usually manufactured as single pieces or in small series.
Yes, we always think in terms of series production when designing prototypes and accompany the transition.
