Case Studies

Star Prototype has demonstrated the sheer scope of its capabilities by delivering a functional prototype using a process that included vacuum casting, CNC machined plastic, sheet metal, silk screening, vapour polishing, painting and engraving.

Quirky is at the cutting edge when it comes to new product development. Quirky is a U.S. Based product design firm that helps inventors place their product into retail giants. Their products have been showcased on HSN (Home Shopping Network, Bed Bath and Beyond and the Sundance Channel )

Star Prototype worked with EASYJUST, an Australian company, on their great new design for tables in cafes and restaurants. The product is the perfect solution to the wobbly table that you always seem to get when dining Al Fresco.

Australian company Cash’s approached STAR in 2010 to produce 30,000 beer pump deckle holders in a hurry. The parts were in ABS with over-moulded brass threaded inserts. The surface had to be a mirror gloss, so the decision was made to use NAK 80 polishing steel. All the mouldings were chrome plated.

Clive Southernwood of UK based DCA Design contacted Star Prototype to manufacture a range of foot care products. The goal was to make a few thousand ‘full-production-quality’ parts quickly. This required a suite of tools including polished NAK 80 steel and soft P20. The plastic was Chimei ABS 757.
