Upload your design to our quoting platform to receive instant, automated quotes along with a complimentary design analysis for your prototypes and production parts.
A design for manufacturability analysis will be completed for you within a few hours.
Once you place your order, we initiate the manufacturing process. Additionally, our digital platform provides real-time updates on the production stage.
After passing quality inspections, the parts are carefully packed for delivery. You can rest assured with our 30-day quality guarantee.
Allows manufacturers to create physical models of a product design to validate its form, fit, and function.
Enables quick iterations and modifications of a product design based on feedback and testing.
Creates prototypes that can be tested under real-world conditions to evaluate performance, durability, and functionality.
Facilitates the creation of custom and complex parts that might be difficult or impossible to using traditional manufacturing methods.
Creates prototypes of tools, jigs, and fixtures that are used in the manufacturing process to produce and assemble products.
Produces prototypes that can be used for market testing, customer feedback, and pre-production marketing.
Rapid prototyping is a method used to quickly fabricate a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data. It is a crucial step in the product development process.
We offer various services, including 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, and vacuum casting. Each method is tailored to meet the specific requirements of your project.
The turnaround time depends on the complexity and size of the prototype. Typically, our rapid prototyping services can deliver results within a few days to a week.
We can work with a wide range of materials, including plastics, metals, and composites. Our team will assist you in selecting the best material for your specific needs.
Yes, we can produce both visual and functional prototypes. Functional prototypes are designed to closely resemble the final product in terms of performance and functionality.
We cater to a diverse range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer goods, and electronics, among others.
Our prototypes are highly precise, with tolerances typically within ±0.1mm, depending on the chosen process and material. We ensure high accuracy to meet your exact specifications.
