Prototyping & Pre-production
Prototyping and pre-production at JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE: a key stage in your projects
An essential lever for guaranteeing quality and feasibility. At JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE, prototyping and pre-production play a strategic role in our manufacturing process.
At JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE, prototyping and industrial pre-production runs play a strategic role in our manufacturing process. This stage forms a genuine bridge between design and series production: it allows your machined parts to be tested, optimised and validated before any production launch.
Thanks to our expertise in precision bar turning and a high-performance machine fleet, we can produce your pre-production runs within the shortest lead times, across a wide range of materials: aluminium, steel, stainless steel, brass, titanium and special alloys.
Our team supports your design offices at every stage of the project, from receipt of the drawings through to final validation of the parts, to guarantee compliance, quality and cost optimisation before high-volume production of mechanical parts.
The advantages of prototyping and industrial pre-production at JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE
Feasibility validation
At the start of your project, we can support you in manufacturing prototypes or pre-production runs, validating compliance with technical and functional requirements against your specifications. This phase identifies any necessary adjustments upstream and improves quality, lead times and manufacturing costs from the outset.
Optimising costs and lead times
By identifying bottlenecks as early as the pre-production phase, we reduce the risk of costly modifications during series production. Our bar turning processes allow us to minimise raw material waste and optimise machining sequences, ensuring more efficient manufacturing and real cost savings on your projects.
Quality at the heart of our purpose
Every industrial pre-production run is carried out in strict compliance with the drawings and specifications provided by your design offices. Our team remains in constant contact with your technical teams to guarantee the highest product quality. This commitment to quality, at the heart of our history, is attested by our certifications ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and ISO 14001.
JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE: an expert partner in prototyping and industrial pre-production
Pre-Production Runs for All Your Business Sectors
Our expertise in prototyping and industrial pre-production runs serves a wide range of demanding industries:
- Automotive: bar-turned mechanical parts for connector technology, braking and steering systems
- Paramedical: machined parts in stainless steel and titanium, with stringent precision and cleanliness requirements
- Energy: components for hydraulic couplers and high-performance industrial equipment
- Industry and wholesale trade: precision turned parts for industrial equipment and solutions made to customer drawings
- Construction sector: bar turning of parts for fasteners, fittings and bespoke structural components
At JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE, industrial prototyping and pre-production are far more than an intermediate step: they are a guarantee of performance, quality and innovation for every project.
When studying your project, our costing and methods team uses cutting-edge digital tools: CAD, CAM and production management software via TOPSOLID, GEDIX, WAVESOFT and STRAVALTO. The confidentiality, security and storage of your data are guaranteed throughout the project.
Our machine fleet enables us to machine high-precision turned parts, from just a few units up to industrial pre-production volumes, with the same quality standards as in high-volume production.
FAQ – Prototyping & Industrial Pre-Production
What is the difference between an industrial prototype and an industrial pre-production run?
A prototype is generally a single part or a very small quantity, intended to validate a concept or a shape. An industrial pre-production run is a larger batch of parts (from a few dozen to a few hundred units) produced under the same conditions as series production, to validate feasibility, machine settings and compliance before the production launch.
Which materials are available for your pre-production runs?
We work with a wide variety of materials in precision bar turning: aluminium, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium and special alloys. The choice of material is defined with you during the project study, according to the functional constraints and the requirements of your sector.
What are the lead times for a bar turning pre-production run?
Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the parts, the materials and the volumes. We undertake to provide you with a detailed schedule from the quotation stage, and to meet the agreed lead times thanks to our internal organisation and responsiveness. Contact our sales team for a tailored response to your specifications.
Do you accept confidential drawings?
Yes. The confidentiality and security of your technical data are a priority at JACQUEMOUX DÉCOLLETAGE. Your drawings and specifications are handled with the utmost discretion, and we can sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on request.
