Precision CNC prototype in audited manufacturing shop
R&D AND PROTOTYPES

Manufacturing platform for R&D and new product launches

Upload your CAD, get a fast quote with manufacturability analysis, and produce functional prototypes through an audited manufacturing network in Mexico.

FOR ENGINEERING MANAGERS, HEADS OF R&D, AND NEW LAUNCH PROJECT MANAGERS

For engineers who iterate fast

Your schedule is measured in iterations per quarter. Each iteration needs a functional prototype, on tolerance, with no surprises. And a supplier who understands that your job is to validate the design — not wait three days for a quote.

Radii combines digital quoting, technical review, and an audited shop network to help you go from CAD to physical part without losing control of quality, documentation, or traceability. Ideal for validating your design today and laying the groundwork for pilot batches or serial production.

WHAT RADII DELIVERS TO YOUR R&D TEAM

Built for every development phase

Quotes in minutes, not days

Upload your CAD in STEP, IGES, or X_T and get price + lead time without waiting. Automatic manufacturability analysis included — risks flagged before you commit.

Validated industrial materials

Aluminum alloys, alloy steels, stainless steels, engineering polymers, and specialty materials depending on technical requirements and availability. We validate material, tolerance, and documentation before production.

CNC turning and milling — 3, 4, and 5-axis

Full capability for prototypes from simple geometries like turned bushings and milled brackets to complex parts like ducts, blades, and optimized structures.

Dimensional inspection based on criticality

Dimensional reports, CMM, and quality documentation when the project requires it. The goal is for every prototype to arrive with the evidence needed to make engineering decisions.

Traceability from the first prototype

Material certificate by heat number, signed dimensional report, and traceable order ID. The prototype is born ready for a future PPAP or FAI.

A platform, not just another shop

Quoting, technical review, audited shop assignment, tracking, and documentation in a single flow. Less manual coordination and more control over quality, lead times, and traceability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM R&D TEAMS

Frequently Asked Questions

What CAD formats do you accept?

We accept STEP, IGES, X_T, SLDPRT, and STL. You can also attach a 2D drawing in PDF or DWG when critical tolerances, finishes, or special manufacturing notes apply. When you upload your file, the platform includes a manufacturability analysis to flag observations before you confirm the order.

How long does a prototype quote take?

For parts with a complete CAD file, a quote with price and lead time can be generated in minutes. If the geometry, material, or tolerances require technical review, the Radii team validates and responds before moving forward. It's not a shop with an email inbox — it's a platform with an integrated review flow.

Can you manufacture parts with tight tolerances?

Yes. Radii operates with an audited shop network and dimensional inspection processes. When the project requires it, we deliver a CMM report and traceable batch documentation.

What materials do you work with for R&D projects?

We work with aluminum 6061 and aerospace-grade alloys, 4140/4340 steels, stainless steels, titanium, Inconel, PEEK, and other industrial materials. Availability depends on the project's technical requirements; we validate material, tolerance, and documentation before production.

Can I scale from prototype to production with Radii?

Yes. Documentation and traceability from the first prototype make the transition to pilot batches and serial production straightforward — no starting from scratch. The same audited network that builds your prototype can scale the project once the design is approved.
