Who we've partnered with...

Why Partner with Tooling 2000?

Do you require multiple stages of manufacture?

With expertise in precision prototyping and a commitment to quality, we ensure each stage of the manufacturing process meets the highest standards. From initial feasibility testing to final production, we partner with you to deliver reliable results.

We provide a complete prototype tooling service to prove tool performance early and confirm a stable route to repeat production.

  • Tool try-out to validate how the tool behaves under pressing conditions
  • Proving runs to confirm part quality, consistency, and process stability
  • Refinements to improve repeatability before production volumes begin
  • Early confirmation of what is needed for smooth, predictable presswork
  • Confidence that the tooling is ready to run, not just ready to ship

We provide a complete prototype part service to help you test fit, function, and manufacturability before committing to full tooling.

  • Prototype parts produced to validate form, fit, and assembly
  • Support for early-stage iterations when designs are still evolving
  • Practical advice on changes that make production easier and more stable
  • Suitable for proving geometry and critical features ahead of tooling
  • Clear feedback loop so you can move quickly from prototype to production

We provide a complete prototype tooling service to prove tool performance early and confirm a stable route to repeat production.

  • Tool try-out to validate how the tool behaves under pressing conditions
  • Proving runs to confirm part quality, consistency, and process stability
  • Refinements to improve repeatability before production volumes begin
  • Early confirmation of what is needed for smooth, predictable presswork
  • Confidence that the tooling is ready to run, not just ready to ship

We provide a complete transition service to take prototypes into repeatable presswork, with tooling support built in.

  • Define production-ready standards for quality and repeatability
  • Confirm the tooling approach and any modifications needed after trials
  • Support part change introduction as designs evolve
  • Plan for ongoing maintenance, repairs, and long-term tool performance
  • A clear handover into repeat stamping production with controlled output

At Tooling 2000, we specialise in working with customers who need prototypes to test feasibility and functionality. Our team collaborates closely with you to formulate the best solutions, tailored specifically to your requirements.

Can you prototype stamped parts before committing to full tooling?

Yes. We can support prototype parts and early trials to help you validate form, fit, and key features before you commit to full production tooling. It’s a practical way to reduce risk and make sure the design is heading in the right direction.

What files and information do you need to start a prototype enquiry?

A PDF drawing is a good start, and CAD is helpful if available. To quote and plan properly, we also need material and thickness (or your preferred options), quantities, required date, and any critical tolerances or quality requirements. If you are not sure, send what you have, and we’ll guide you.

Do you offer prototype tooling and tool try-outs?

Yes. We offer tool try-out and proving to check tool performance and part quality under real pressing conditions. This helps confirm repeatability, highlights any adjustments needed, and supports a smoother move into production.

What happens after prototyping, can you take it into production?

Yes. Once the prototype is approved, we can progress into tooling manufacture and repeat stamping production. If any changes are needed after trials, we will advise clearly and manage the transition so you get stable, consistent output.
