Prototype Tooling

Penn United Technology offers a range of prototype tooling services. We can design your new product, work with your design development team or develop the manufacturing strategy that meets your goals for your new or existing product. Our range of manufacturing capabilities and extensive prototype tooling and production experience can be utilized to efficiently manage material usage and minimize the manufacturing cost of a product.

Once a design has been completed and approved, Penn United can assist with the transformation of your product from prototype into full-scale production, helping you to meet your lead-time and cost expectations and reducing your product time-to-market.
