Benefits
Rapid prototypes are assets to a wide range of industries ranging from technical fields such as Industrial Design, Engineering, Information Visualization, and Architecture to the Arts such as Animation and Sculpture.
Whether you need a full-functionality, durable prototype or a rough visual model to verify the form in 3D, our rapid prototype experts can help pick the right process and material combination tailored to fit your budget and needs.
Save Time and Money
Rapid prototyping allows you to test and validate your design and expose any potentially costly production errors quickly and cost efficiently. With rapid injection tooling, short-run production has now become much easier and faster, eliminating the need of high upfront tooling costs.
- Communication
Communication
 |
Aesthetic prototypes can be created directly from digital data, fast and cost-efficiently. Full colour models allow designers, engineers and sales representatives to communicate concept designs to their clients and customers. A prototype can also be shipped across countries, allowing for a more concrete presentation than a screen shot or paper printout. |
- Identify Problems Early
Identify Problems Early
 |
Rapid prototypes provide a fast and efficient way to identify issues and challenges with a design, and correct mistakes throughout the design and development process. |
- Finished Presentation Models
Finished Presentation Models
 |
Prototypes can be sanded, painted or engraved to create a finished-looking model. Exact replicas of production models can be used to solicit focus group feedback designed parts. |
- Achieve Consensus on a Design
Achieve Consensus on a Design
 |
A physical prototype allows engineers and designers to fully understand the pros and cons of design concepts, making the consensus process easier. |
- Create Functional Parts
Create Functional Parts
 |
A fully functional and durable prototype can be used to test and evaluate a design. Tap, drill, assemble, snap fit, living hinges and spring components can all be tested before final production. |
