CNC machines boost prototyping
29 November 2013
As its name suggests, Prototype Projects is in the business of fast turnaround production of low-volume and one-off components. It offers its customers a range of additive technologies, including stereolithography, fused deposition and laser sintering, as well as CNC machining.

For its CNC operations, it depends on the quality, performance and reliability of Bridgeport machines and over the past two years has installed three GX 480 three-axis vertical machining centres. These complement earlier CNC machines bought by the company – a Bridgeport VMC 1000 and a VMC 600.
