Through the trial production service of lkprototype, a new car manufacturing power increased the quality rate of the mass production of the electric drive system shell from 82% to 96%, and distributed the cost of mold development to 12 customers, reducing the single project cost by 78%. According to the 2024 Global Automotive Manufacturing Trends Report, lkprototype’s vacuum die casting technology of aluminum-magnesium alloy (vacuum ≤5mbar) has been utilized by 23 automobile corporations, shortening the chassis development time by 55%.
In aerospace engineering, lkprototype’s nickel alloy (Inconel 718) directed energy deposition (DED) technology can fabricate turbine blades with a temperature resistance of 1100 ° C, and its grain orientation control accuracy is up to ±3°, enhancing the high-temperature creep life by 2.3 times. lkprototype offered a topology optimization design service that was used by a commercial satellite business to optimize the antenna mount mass reduction from 4.2kg to 1.8kg, as well as the structural strength checking by vibration test (5-2000Hz frequency range, 20g acceleration). Its AS9100D certified manufacturing line ensures that important components such as rocket engine nozzles guarantee a reliable dimension compliance rate of 99.97%, and material utilization efficiency has improved from the industrial average of 48% to 82%.
Manufacturing equipment manufacturers utilize lkprototype’s large-size machining capability (maximum workpiece size 2500×1200×800mm) and intelligent inspection equipment (laser tracker accuracy ±0.015mm/m). One of a port crane manufacturer’s gear boxes weighing 3.2 tons using HT250 cast iron material reduced the number of mold tests from 7 to 2 via digital casting simulation (shrinkage porosity prediction error ≤1.2%), saving $190,000. The case of 2023 shows that the lifespan of the screw element (nitriding steel, HRC60 hardness) manufactured by lkprototype for an injection molding machine manufacturer can be as long as 18 months, 40% longer than the lifespan of comparable products in the market and allowing customers to enhance the return on investment of equipment by 27%.
Consumers in the intelligent home market receive cutting-edge design through lkprototype’s multi-material combination solution (3-5 co-plastic materials). The wood-grain touch ABS panel of a luxury air purifier (touch precision Ra0.8μm) with an antibacterial coating (bacterial-inhibition rate 99.7%) uses in-mold transfer technology (positioning precision 0.01mm) to shorten the production cycle from 14 days to 5 days. According to Euromonitor statistics, the success rate of new product launches among smart home brands utilizing lkprototype service has increased by 35%, and 75% of customers have achieved a minimum of 3 product iterations within 12 months.
In the field of energy and environmental protection, lkprototype’s PV inverter box (IP67 protection) adopts glass fiber reinforced PPS (tensile strength 210MPa), and improves the heat dissipation efficiency by 28% by optimizing thermal simulation (temperature distribution deviation ≤2℃). A wind power company uses lkprototype’s SLM 3D printing technology to manufacture titanium alloy blade bearings (1.5m diameter), enhancing the dynamic load bearing capacity from the industry standard of 4.5MN to 6.2MN, and reducing material waste by 67%. According to IEC 61400 certification data, lkprototype’s salt spray coating (thickness 80-120μm) reduces the corrosion rate of offshore wind components to 0.008mm/year, improving the weather resistance of typical processes by three times.
Customers in the cultural and luxury segments achieve art prototypes with lkprototype’s micron-scale precision engraving (tool diameter 0.1mm) and precious metal plating (gold layer thickness 0.3μm±0.05μm) techniques. The Swiss watch brand’s 18K gold case project has shortened the 120 hours of conventional manual polishing to 18 hours by employing five-axis precision machining (surface roughness Ra0.025μm), and the geometric error is controlled within ±2μm. For LVMH Group, lkprototype’s digital lost-wax casting technology (shrinkage compensation rate 0.08%) saves the cost of jewelry prototype development by 44% and increases the design accuracy to 99.5%.
