In-House
3D Printers

Having in-house 3D printers allows us to meet a wide range of specifications quickly and efficiently. We can create prototypes with various materials and precision levels, tailored to each project’s needs.

Quick Lead
Times

We can significantly reduce lead times by quickly creating 3D printed prototypes. This allows us to move through design stages faster and make adjustments. Shorter lead times mean we can help you bring products to market more quickly.

Cost-
Effective

With rapid prototyping, we can quickly create and test design variations at a low cost. This helps us catch flaws early, avoiding expensive mistakes in later production stages. Our iterative process allows us to optimise resources, saving both time and money.

Enhanced
Flexibility

We can adapt quickly to unique project requirements. Whether it’s material selection, design modifications, or production adjustments, we can tailor each prototype to your exact needs. This flexibility ensures a more efficient and personalized development process.

Further
Development

Beyond prototyping, we offer full design and end production services, ensuring seamless transitions from concept to final product. This integrated approach accelerates development and guarantees high-quality results at every stage.

Enhanced
Collaboration

Our prototyping process enhances collaboration by providing physical models that improve communication between design teams, engineers, and stakeholders. These prototypes make it easier to share ideas, gather feedback, and align everyone on the project’s goals.

What is rapid prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is a process used to quickly create a mockup of a product/part. It allows designers, engineers, and stakeholders to test concepts, identify issues, and refine designs before full production or development.

What methods are used in rapid prototyping?

3D Printing: Includes technologies like:

- SLA (Stereolithography): High-resolution and smooth finishes for detailed prototypes using UV-cured resin.
- SLS (Selective Laser Sintering): Uses lasers to fuse powdered materials, ideal for durable and complex parts.
- MJF (Multi Jet Fusion): Produces strong, detailed parts with high consistency using fine powder layers and fusing agents.

Vacuum Casting: Creates high-quality replicas by pouring liquid resin into silicone moulds, often used for low-volume production and functional prototypes.

These methods allow for fast, precise prototyping across industries.

Can you create tradeshow visual models?

Yes! Using a combination of rapid prototyping technologies and our expert finishing technicians, we are able to create high-quality models for tradeshows, presentations and visual demonstration purposes within short lead times.

What are the benefits of rapid prototyping?

Speeds up the product development process.
Encourages user-centered design by incorporating feedback early.
Reduces development costs by identifying issues early.
Fosters creativity and experimentation.

Can rapid prototyping reduce development costs?

Yes! By identifying issues and gathering feedback early, rapid prototyping prevents costly redesigns and ensures efficient use of resources.

How does rapid prototyping differ from traditional prototyping?

Rapid prototyping emphasizes speed and iteration, using advanced tools and technologies to quickly create and test prototypes. Traditional prototyping often involves longer timelines and more manual processes.
