Overview

Budget rarely covers both a full prototype tool and a production tool, so the tooling path has to be chosen deliberately.

R&D teams usually need speed, but they also need a partner who knows what will break later in production. That is where we add value.

Development focused on learning from the first prototype

In R&D projects, the first part is not expected to be the final product; what matters is that the first build answers the right questions. Planning geometry, tooling, material, and process choices so they generate technical knowledge usable in later iterations reduces development time and unnecessary rework.

Early-stage manufacturability support

Teams developing new products often need to make key decisions before the production infrastructure is in place. By assessing manufacturability risks at the concept or prototype stage, Tulkas helps make tooling investment, process selection, and the path to series production visible earlier.

Prototyping & Serial Production

Budget rarely covers both a full prototype tool and a production tool, so the tooling path has to be chosen deliberately.

A prototype unit cost should not be compared against a future serial-production unit cost — tooling and design engineering are carried by a single part at prototype stage. We plan the tooling strategy with serial production in mind from the start, so a second phase doesn't begin from scratch.

Yes. Single-piece prototype work is a normal part of what we take on; a production commitment is not a prerequisite.

No. A defined function and load case is enough to start; geometry can be developed from there rather than requiring a finished CAD file upfront.
