How We Go From First Prototype to Full Production in Under a Year
Most manufacturing projects drag on for years. Ours don’t.
At FormX, we believe speed doesn’t have to come at the cost of quality. When you have deadlines, investor expectations, or a fast-moving market, time matters. That’s why our end-to-end manufacturing model is built around one simple question:
"How fast can we make this real, without cutting corners?"
Spoiler: From first design to production-ready parts, we routinely move in under a year.
If you’ve worked with traditional manufacturing or sourcing firms, you know the drill:
Delays stack up fast when no one takes true ownership.
At FormX, we solve that by managing the entire process, from concept and prototyping to tooling, production, and delivery.
We’ve helped companies cut months off their timelines by refining every step, without cutting corners.

We are not just sourcing parts. We are building momentum.
Send us a CAD file, and our engineers will review it quickly. We flag manufacturability issues early, helping you avoid costly revisions later. This accelerates both prototyping and production launch.
Your first prototype can often be in your hands within just a few weeks. From there, we typically move through one or two rounds of revisions based on your design updates.
On average, it takes about four months from first prototype to final production-ready parts, depending on the complexity of the project.

Our vetted network of domestic and global partners means we know exactly who can build your part and build it well. You do not have to navigate international logistics or production hurdles. We handle it for you.
Casting, machining, post-processing, and inspection, we manage the entire chain for maximum speed and quality. No wasted time hopping between vendors.
We optimize shipping routes, air or sea, low volume or bulk, to meet your timeline and budget goals.
It is a real, repeatable process, not a stretch goal.
At FormX, trust is more than a slogan. It is how we have operated for over twenty years, delivering reliable, high-quality results for customers across industries.
We are family-owned, U.S.-based, and deeply experienced at navigating complex global supply chains. When clients ask us to move fast, we do not hesitate. We deliver.
If you're ready to go from design to delivered faster than you thought possible, let’s talk.
