The evolution in safety testing has driven many prototype shops into small-lot production. And now, many prototypers not only support the expanded production for vehicle testing but also are equipped to support OEM manufacturers should their lines go down. In the case of Quasar Industries, a hugely diversified prototype and short-run stamper and fabricator in Rochester Hills, MI, this has led to a still-expanding foray into laser-beam cutting and welding, robotic arc welding, stamping, automated inspection and, its most recent investment, hydroforming. In December 2004, Quasar invested in one of the largest hydroforming presses. The 19-ft. 5500-ton Schuler press stands ready in a new 10,000-sq.-ft. addition to the Quasar plant to handle 85 percent of the hydroformed products being made today.
