Great Machined Prototypes Save You Time & Money

We provide our customers precise prototypes that are as ready for the real world as possible. Our expert technicians will work with your team to turn ideas and concepts into high-functioning components that are immediately ready to test in your lab or have reviewed by your marketing team. Right from initial concept, we’ll collaborate with you, providing crucial industry insights and best practices.

Any successful final product starts with a realistic prototype, which means it must be made using the material that will be used during production. Westlake Tool & Die has the capability to source any type of material as well as the expertise to build cost-effective prototype tooling.
