About Us

Your One-Stop Prototype Factory

X.d Prototype is a professional manufacturer focusing on low-volume 1–50 pcs prototypes for automotive and EV components. We provide a complete in-house solution — from CNC machining and friction welding to airtight testing and independent jig & fixture design.

We accept external custom design orders with full service: 3D/2D drawings, DFM modification and small-batch sample production, mainly serving clients in the USA, Germany and Europe with strict quality control and fast lead time.

  • One roof: machining, welding, testing & assembly
  • Drawing-to-part service: 3D/2D, DFM, sampling
  • Export experience with USA & German clients
  • Full project confidentiality, NDA on request

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your minimum order quantity?

We specialize in low-volume prototyping from 1 to 50 pieces. Single-piece orders are welcome — no project is too small.

How fast can I get a quote and DFM feedback?

Send your 2D/3D drawings (STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF or PDF) and we reply with a quotation and free DFM analysis within 24 hours.

What materials do you machine?

Aluminum 6061 / 6063 / AlSi12Fe, steel and stainless steel, plus plastics such as PA, PC, ABS, POM, PP, PE and TPU.

What tolerances can you hold?

Precision tolerance up to ±0.02 mm for power-electronics and EV structural components, verified by CMM inspection.

Do you test cooling parts for leakage?

Yes. Every pressure or sealing part can be 100% airtight tested (pressure decay / leakage inspection) with a test report for your validation.

Do you sign NDAs and protect my design?

Absolutely. All customer projects, drawings and 3D models are treated as strictly confidential. We are happy to sign an NDA before quoting.
