GROB Prototype Manufacturing
From Concept to Production – With GROB as Your Development Partner

Precision, Speed & Scalability: Near-series prototype manufacturing for a seamless transition to mass production.

As an experienced development partner, GROB supports you every step of the way—from the initial prototype to the production-ready manufacturing line.

 

Through our near-series prototype manufacturing, state-of-the-art production technologies, and an end-to-end process chain, we ensure that your components are not only functional but also fully production-ready.

 

Our prototype manufacturing utilizes the same technologies as the subsequent series production. This allows us to achieve exceptionally high process alignment and quality.

 

Our equipment includes:

 

  • State-of-the-art 5-axis universal machining centers and system machines
  • Machining centers for frame-structure and chassis components
  • Machining centers for mega- and giga-castings

 

The result: Near-series components that can be immediately transferred into validated manufacturing processes—ideal for optimization during process commissioning.

 

 

Holistic Development – Simultaneous Engineering for Maximum Producibility

 

With a holistic development approach, we ensure that series production requirements are accounted for at an early stage.

 

Our services include:

 

  • Simultaneous Engineering for early-stage integration of manufacturability
  • Concept Development and functional analyses
  • Feasibility Analyses for cost-optimized and robust processes
  • Tooling Design for stable, repeatable results
  • Fixture Design for reproducible, high-precision machining

 

Your advantage: Minimized iterations, accelerated industrialization, and maximum process stability!

We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end process chain from a single source!

What our customers are saying

“Developing a design is not a one-way street; at the end of the day, the machines must be capable of producing parts for pilot or mass production as robustly as possible.

 

GROB’s years of experience and their feedback regarding product design were incredibly helpful to us.”

 

Matthias Venske, Managing Director (eAx solutions)

“I was very impressed that GROB managed to get the prototype machine and automation up and running in this form. It was also fascinating how quickly the calculations for the specified workpieces and their cycle times proved to be accurate.

 

The collaboration with GROB has proven to be outstanding for us.”

 

Thomas Hahn, Production Manager 
(thyssenkrupp Automotive Body Solutions)

“We had a product idea, a set of specifications, and an idea of what the pilot line could look like.

 

With GROB's help, we were able to further improve our concept—essentially polishing our ideas into a diamond—and create a first-class Design for Manufacturing (DfM).”

 

Elisabeth Jahns, Director of Operations (eAx solutions)

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Near-Series Prototype Manufacturing

What does "near-series prototype manufacturing" mean?

Near-series prototype manufacturing means that prototypes are produced under conditions nearly identical to those of the final mass production. This allows for precise process validation and a seamless transition into high-volume series production.

What advantages does near-series prototyping offer during process commissioning?

It reduces and minimizes production risks while accelerating industrialization. Potential sources of error are identified early, allowing processes to be optimized under real-world conditions.

Which industries is GROB’s prototype manufacturing suitable for?

Our portfolio is particularly relevant for the automotive industry, e-mobility, powertrain technology, vehicle structural manufacturing, as well as mechanical and plant engineering.

What component sizes or materials can be manufactured?

We cover a wide manufacturing spectrum, ranging from complex small components to large-format giga-castings—including aluminum, steel, cast materials, and lightweight materials.

How quickly can prototypes be produced?

Our end-to-end process chain enables short lead times. Specific delivery schedules depend on the component, its complexity, and the required production steps.

Can GROB also offer my system for series production?

Yes. As a turnkey equipment manufacturer, we develop not only prototypes but also the complete series production line—including process validation and final handover into series operation.
