Prototyping   A single cavity prototype can be produced quickly and economically. This allows designs to be proved, materials tested and a small number of parts supplied for pre-production runs. Harboro offers a priority service for prototype moulds which can generally be obtained in less than four weeks. The Jaguar Case Study describes how Harboro quickly produced a prototype of a protective terminal cover.
