CATEGORIESThe machining process may stay similar as a project moves from prototype to production, but the manufacturing priorities often change.
Early parts are usually used to validate geometry, fit, interfaces, and function. Once the design becomes stable, setup strategy, fixtures, inspection points, finishing, and repeatability can be reviewed for ongoing production.

|---|---|
| Check whether the geometry fits and functions as intended. | Maintain the confirmed geometry across repeat manufacturing. |
| Drawing changes may still occur. | Revision control becomes more important. |
| Simple workholding may be sufficient for a small quantity. | Dedicated or repeatable fixtures may be considered where appropriate. |
| Inspection may focus on features needed for validation. | Inspection follows the confirmed drawing and agreed critical requirements. |
A process that is practical for a few prototype parts may not be the most suitable route for repeat production. As quantity increases, fixture design, tool life, setup sequence, material preparation, and inspection planning may need to be reviewed again.
If a prototype is modified during testing, the approved changes should be reflected in the latest drawing before future parts are produced. Clear revision control helps prevent an earlier version from being manufactured again by mistake.
