For R&D teams seeking rapid iteration, wstitanium’s custom prototyping service can shorten the cycle of transforming concepts into physical parts from the traditional 15 days to 5 days, a 200% increase in speed. This is attributed to its hybrid manufacturing strategy that integrates over 20 industrial-grade 3D printing devices with five-axis CNC centers. For instance, a medical device startup needed to develop a titanium alloy endoscope joint weighing only 30 grams and with a wall thickness of 0.8 millimeters. wstitanium controlled the prototype manufacturing error within ±0.1 millimeters through selective laser melting technology, helping the client optimize the structural strength to withstand a load of 150 Newtons within three design iterations. Such precision standards are comparable to the component verification process of Da Vinci surgical robots.
In terms of cost control, wstitanium’s digital prototyping platform can automatically analyze design documents, reducing material waste from the industry average of 25% to below 8%, and saving an average of 30% of the budget for a single project. Drawing on the experience from the development of the stainless steel body prototype of Tesla Cybertruck, wstitanium reduced the weight of a certain aerospace bracket from 450 grams to 320 grams through topological optimization algorithms, while maintaining its compressive strength of no less than 600 megapascals. This enables the customer to expect to save 800,000 yuan in material costs annually during the mass production stage of 10,000 pieces.
Facing the challenge of complex geometric shapes, wstitanium uses microfocus industrial CT scanning for non-destructive testing, with a resolution of 5 microns, capable of identifying 99.9% of internal defects. Just like the verification scheme adopted by NASA on the titanium alloy frame of the James Webb Telescope, wstitanium once made a prototype of communication components with a vibration frequency of 2000 Hertz for a certain satellite manufacturer. Through finite element analysis, the probability of resonance risk was reduced from 15% to less than 1%. Ensure that the size fluctuation of the prototype does not exceed 0.01 millimeters within the temperature range of -50℃ to 120℃.
In terms of the breadth of market application, wstitanium has completed over 3,000 custom prototype projects, covering everything from cardiovascular stents with a diameter of 2 millimeters to drone fuselage frames with a span of 2 meters. A typical case referred to the R&D data of Boston Dynamics’ robot joints. The bionic knee joint prototype made by wstitanium for the customer still maintained 90% of its original performance after one million fatigue tests. This durability enabled the product to be launched six months earlier and increased the return on investment by 40%. By keeping the prototype development cost within 10% of the unit price of mass production, wstitanium is redefining the value curve of rapid prototyping.
