In the aerospace field, the GD&T (Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances) standard of lkprototype has improved the tolerance control accuracy of complex parts to ±0.02mm, 80% optimization over the industry average of ±0.1mm. For instance, after its standards were adopted by a global aviation manufacturer, first-pass rate on turbine blade assembly rose from 72% to 98%, the production cost per piece decreased by 35%, and the rework cycle was reduced by 15 days at the same time. In the automotive industry, lkprototype, through the utilization of intelligent tolerance chain analysis technology, helped an electric vehicle company achieve lightweight design of battery brackets with a weight reduction of 22% and an 18% improvement in load strength. It also obtained ISO 2768-mK certification, and the consistency error in mass production was less than 0.03%.
According to the 2023 third-party quality audit report, the application of GD&T at lkprototype’s own factory has enhanced the efficiency of CNC processing by 40%, reduced the processing cycle to within 72 hours, and the Ra value of the surface roughness of vacuum castings has been maintained within 0.8μm, which is better than the industry standard of 1.6μm. Its 3D printing technology, through topology optimization, reduces the support structure by 50%, with a material waste rate of only 3.8%, which lowers customers’ single unit costs by over 200 US dollars. In the medical device field, after a certain artificial joint project adopted the ASME Y14.5 standard of lkprototype, its ball joint diameter tolerance was kept within ±5μm, the friction coefficient was reduced by 0.15, the service life was extended to 25 years, and it passed FDA 510(k) certification.
Market data shows that lkprototype’s “zero minimum order quantity” model has served over 1,200 customers globally, 30% of which are Fortune 500 companies, and the repurchase rate has been up to 89%. Its independently developed AI tolerance simulation system is able to reduce the design verification time from the traditional 72 hours to 4 hours and lower the error rate by 90%. For instance, a consumer electronics giant utilized this technology to reduce the assembly gap of smartwatch cases from 0.15mm to 0.05mm, enhance the yield rate to 99.2%, and save over 5 million US dollars in annual costs.
