Our Capabilities Include Press Brake Forming, Laser Cutting and Welding
Prototyping through Production
Recognized as a “start-to-finish” prototype company, P2P Manufacturing is comfortable working with everything from 3D solid models to rough sketches. We can also reverse engineer already existing but out-of-date parts to provide exact duplicates. In terms of scope, we routinely handle 400 to 500 new part numbers a month – where many contract manufacturers do not handle that many new numbers in a year.
P2P Manufacturing offers low-volume custom production capabilities on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. Our state-of-the-art ERP scheduling capabilities enable us to integrate with your processes, sharing intellectual property, costing data, and other insights to ensure that the transition goes smoothly, and schedules are achieved. We can also help with jig and fixture design and development.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a highly accurate process for cutting all types of metal, ferrous or nonferrous. It can handle thin parts that require very precise edges. Unlike waterjet cutters, laser cutting offers fast cutting speeds, and unlike plasma cutting it provides excellent precision and cut quality.
Press Brake Forming
A press brake bends sheet metal into predetermined shapes. It is a highly flexible technology that uses dies with a hydraulic or mechanical pressure ram or punch to form simple bends or complex shapes. Our machines can hold extremely tight tolerances. Unlike stamping presses, which require highly expensive and time-consuming dedicated tooling, press brake forming relies on several standard die forms that can be used across projects, thus saving time and money. What’s more, our Videre on-screen operator support system can provide up to an 80% reduction in time spent during setups compared to manual setups.
Welding
P2P offers both MIG and TIG welding services. MIG (metal inert gas) welding, is a welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode fed through a welding gun to join two metal pieces together. The wire acts as the electrode and filler metal, melting to fill the joint as it is fed into the weld pool. The welding process is protected against contamination by a shielding gas. Industries that use MIG welding include aerospace, automotive, construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding.
TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding features a non-consumable tungsten electrode that produces a high-quality weld with a smooth, consistent appearance. The tungsten electrode is shielded by an inert gas (usually argon) and the system feeds a filler metal into the weld gun as needed. TIG welding is used in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and medical equipment.
P2P uses the Miller family of MIG and TIG welding equipment, which provides a complete system-level approach to arc welding for greater efficiency, higher quality, and superior performance.
Machining
P2P’s machining capabilities complement our prototyping skills, enabling us to deliver the customized parts and components needed to complete your order quickly and accurately. Our deep machining expertise coupled with the use of high-quality modern machining stations assures customers that we will deliver their prototypes on time and at the level of accuracy they require.
P2P has access to Haas CNC machining centers and Haas CNC lathes, enabling us to process digital engineering data quickly and surely. Our ecosystem of trusted allied suppliers means we can reach beyond our in-house capabilities when needed and tap into unique expertise to get the job done.
Engineering
Our engineers are great listeners; they put a premium on understanding exactly what customers want – and more importantly, what they need. Whether you only have a vague notion of what you want or a fully formed proposal with full assembly solid models, P2P’s engineering team can turn them into manufacturable prototypes quickly and cost-effectively. Our team knows how to integrate seamlessly with your concept development process to deliver prototype parts, components, or complete models when you need them.
We can also reverse-engineer legacy parts no longer available on the market and build new ones, thus saving customers money and time and breathing new life into older equipment. Don’t let a simple part failure force you to make a significant capital expenditure when you can easily repair your legacy equipment.
VALUE ADDED SERVICES
P2P offers customers a variety of value-added services that complement our prototyping and manufacturing capabilities.
- PEM® insertion: We offer PEM® insertion services to complete our prototyping efforts. This self-clinching fastening technology is cost-effective, reliable, and durable.
- Spot welding: Our spot welding capabilities give customers the flexibility to complete a prototype rapidly and cleanly. Spot welds are strong when kept within an appropriate thickness range. They are also cost-effective and can be applied quickly.
- Outsource powder coat and plating: P2P’s capability ecosystem enables us to offer excellent powder coating and plating services that can provide the finishing touch to a project.
