Equipment and Facilities
From early-stage prototypes to low-volume production parts, suitable equipment and organized manufacturing facilities are essential for achieving consistent dimensions, surface quality, and delivery schedules.
Yanmee coordinates machining, additive manufacturing, molding, finishing, inspection, and project management resources to support plastic and metal component development across different project stages.
Manufacturing Resources for Different Project Stages
Every project has different requirements for material, geometry, quantity, appearance, and functional performance. Instead of relying on a single manufacturing process, we select suitable equipment and production resources according to the intended application of each part.
Our equipment and facility network supports concept models, engineering prototypes, functional testing parts, presentation samples, bridge production, and low-volume manufacturing.
Inspection equipment for dimensional and quality verification
Rapid prototyping for design evaluation
CNC machining for accurate metal and plastic parts
Vacuum casting for small batches of appearance parts
Injection molding for production-ready plastic components
Surface finishing for visual and functional requirements

CNC Machining Equipment
CNC machining provides a practical solution for producing accurate prototypes and low-volume parts from engineering plastics and metals.
Our machining resources support milling, turning, drilling, threading, and other common operations for components with functional surfaces, mounting features, internal structures, and assembly requirements.
CNC machining is commonly used for:
Parts requiring secondary finishing
Functional prototypes
Metal housings and structural components
Jigs, fixtures, and tooling parts
Precision plastic components
Low-volume end-use parts
| Equipment | Brand / Model | Key Specs | Capability Advantage |
| Fiber Laser Cutter | Trumpf TruLaser 3030 | 3 kW, 4,000×2,000 mm bed | Clean, burr-free cutting with minimal heat-affected zone |
| CNC Press Brake | Amada HFE 100/3 | 100 ton, 3,100 mm bed length | Accurate bending to ±0.05 mm on multi-bend sequences |
| CNC Turret Punch | Amada Vipros 2510 | 25 tons, 1,270×500 mm | High-speed hole and feature punching for batch production |
| Progressive Stamping Press | Aida 200 ton | 200 ton, 1,600 SPM max | High-volume stamped parts with consistent quality at low unit cost |

3D Printing Equipment
3D printing helps shorten development time when projects require fast design verification or complex geometries that may be difficult to produce using conventional machining.
Different printing processes and materials can be selected according to appearance, strength, accuracy, surface quality, and testing requirements. This makes 3D printing suitable for both early concept models and more functional prototype applications.
Typical applications include:
Low-quantity customized components
Concept and presentation models
Form and fit evaluation
Internal structure verification
Assembly testing
Complex geometric prototypes
| Equipment | Brand / Model | Key Specs | Capability Advantage |
| Injection Molding Press | Haitian / Engel | 50 – 1,600 ton clamp | Covers micro-insert molding to large housing production |

| LSR Molding Press | Engel Victory | 60 ton, LSR metering | Medical-grade silicone parts with clean-room capability |
| Mold Temperature Controller | MKR | Thermal reg. ±1°C | Consistent cycle times and surface finish quality |
Vacuum Casting Facilities
Vacuum casting is suitable for producing small batches of plastic-like parts when appearance, color, texture, or assembly performance needs to be evaluated before production tooling is introduced.
A master model is used to create a silicone mold, allowing multiple cast parts to be produced with relatively consistent external details. The process is often selected for product demonstrations, user testing, engineering trials, and bridge production.
Vacuum casting can support:
Assembly and functional evaluation
Small batches of enclosure parts
Transparent or colored components
Rubber-like and rigid prototypes
Presentation samples
Pre-production market testing
| Equipment | Brand / Model | Key Specs | Capability Advantage |
| Cold Chamber Die Casting | Frech / Toyo | 160 – 1,250 ton clamp | Aluminum and zinc alloy castings with thin-wall capability |
| Die Polishing & Finishing | In-house tool room | CNC + manual polishing | Tool maintenance and surface finish optimization in-house |
Injection Molding and Tooling Resources
For projects moving toward repeat production, injection molding provides a scalable method for manufacturing plastic components with consistent geometry and surface appearance.
Tooling requirements are evaluated according to part structure, selected material, expected order volume, surface finish, and future production plans. Design review and manufacturing coordination help identify potential molding risks before tooling begins.
Our project support can cover:
Low-volume and repeat production planning
Design for manufacturability review
Prototype and bridge tooling
Production mold development
Plastic injection molding
Mold trial and sample evaluation
