FROM IDEAS TO SHAPES

PROTOTYPING

Where know-how takes shape.


With our vision and ability to interpret designs, at Area Manuale we can cover a wide range of product areas.


Experience and a consolidated network allow us to combine different approaches and technologies to arrive at the best result.

METHODS

ANALOGUE
From the sketch, to the design layout or existing model, we sculpt the solid piece “the old-fashioned way” and organise work stages where the customer can be present, in real time, to take part in the creation of the design.


Once the definitions are in place, the next stage, if required, is symmetry.
DIGITAL
From the 3D file – the customer’s or one we create to their specifications – we use an anthropomorphic milling robot to machine the piece before passing onto the manual finishing stage.


If, once machined, the client needs to make changes, these can be carried out manually.


If the sizes and technical characteristics allow, we can assess the use of additive manufacturing for the whole piece or for some parts of it.
HYBRID
From the sketch or table layout, we create a miniature model, assessing any changes and once the customer has approved, we pass on to digitalisation using 3D laser scans and if necessary, reverse engineering, scaling the digital model up to the size required, before passing onto CNC machining and then manual finishing.
