Matériaux

Our rapid prototyping services are able to handle a wide range of materials and can bring your entire rapid prototyping project together in one place. We can manufacture your prototype parts in plastics, metals, and ceramics.

Plastiques

Plastic prototypes made through 3D printing, polyurethane casting, or CNC machining are common and cost-effective ways to review the appearance and functionality of a design.

Métaux

Metal prototypes and parts are often made through CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, metal 3D printing, or casting processes.

Ceramics

The advantage of ceramics in rapid prototyping is its extremely high rigidity, insulation and high temperature resistance. It is popular in many industries. We can provide Alumina, ZrO2, AIN, Si3N4 and SiC.

Types of Rapid Prototyping Applications

Rapid prototyping covers different techniques and materials. Depending on the application, there are many types of prototypes.

Concept Model

A proof-of-concept prototype is the simplest prototype and is used to communicate the basic design of a part. It is mainly used for internal iteration of products.

Display Prototype

A demonstration prototype (or cosmetic prototype) is a model that focuses on appearance. It should be as similar as possible to the final part, but it may not function as designed.

Functional Prototype

Functional prototypes function similarly to the end-use part. This allows the designer to perform any necessary mechanical testing on the prototype to ensure it functions properly.

Pre-production Prototype

A pre-production prototype or factory sample is a prototype made before production. It is mainly used to validate the selected mass production process and ensure that the manufactured part will function as expected.

What is rapid prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is the process of turning a product idea into a physical model using various production technologies. A product project is basically an idea in the early stages, and if you want to sell the product or get investors interested, you need a physical model, also known as a product prototype.
To bring a product to market, you need to improve it until you get a final version that can be put on the market. Therefore, the faster you can make and improve prototypes, the faster you can bring your product to market. Currently, all rapid prototyping work starts with a digital model, but the manufacturing hardware can include CNC machining, 3D printing, etc. You can make rapid prototypes using any material that is compatible with the manufacturing hardware you use. This may or may not include surface treatment. Therefore, when you want to develop and deliver a product using rapid prototyping services, the faster the better.

Prototyping Benefits

Cost-effective approach
Reduces material waste
No special tooling required to make models
Flexibility to perform multiple design iterations in color, surface texture, design, and finishing
Early physical verification of designs helps reduce overall risk

How to Choose the Right Rapid Prototyping Technology

The right prototyping method is the one that fits your budget, the complexity of your part, the functions you want the prototype to perform, and your development timeline. Better prototypes cost more money and take longer to make, but they also better address issues such as form, fit, and function of production parts. Therefore, you need to answer the following questions to get the right rapid prototype parts.

Is the prototype a static display model?
Does it need to be fully functional?
Are there multiple interrelated parts?
What is the surface texture and finish?

What is it made of?
How important are strength and durability?
How close should it be to the final production version?
