To shorten the lead time for components and system development projects, Ovako has developed an approach to support with prototypes. Several types of industrial development projects can benefit from short lead times of tailored prototype deliveries. Forgings, bars and machined pre-components are our predominant prototype formats, but tube components such as precision blanks, as well as rolled rings, can also be delivered upon request. For some of our more common high performance steel grades, table is applicable. Through this service, customers can shorten their project lead times by several months or allow for more iterations in the system development process.
