Rapid prototyping

Rapid prototyping is a fast and efficient process that brings product ideas to life. Using advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting, rapid prototyping allows designers and engineers to create physical models of their products in a fraction of the time and cost.

What is Rapid Prototying ?
Rapid prototyping is used to quickly create functional prototypes. It uses 3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum casting, or sheet metal farbricating to produce prototypes rapidly. These prototypes help in testing and refining product designs before moving to mass production.

3D Printing (SLS & SLA)

SLA (Stereo Lithography) and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) are two types of 3D printing manufacturing technology to create plastic models, functional prototypes. These processes are rapid and allow you to create sophisticated internal features that would be impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing techniques. SLA is ideal for making small volumes of prototypes, and we use SLA to make master patterns for vacuum casting models.
Parts made of 3D printing are inadequate in strength and is easily broken, and are likely to deform in high-temperature.

Vacuum Casting

Polyurethane vacuum casting is used to create a duplicate of your master pattern.
Materials: ABS, PP, Nylon, Rubber, and transparent.
ABS and other engineering plastics.
Finishing: Painting, As Casted
Shrinkage: 0.15% – 0.3%

CNC Machining Prototype

Parts will achieve tighter tolerances with a smooth surface without investing in expensive tooling.
Process: 3 axis, 4 axis, 5 axis Milling, Turning
Materials:  Plastic (ABS, PMMA, PP, PC, POM, PA, bakelite) .
Metals (aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, etc).

Sheet Metal Prototyping

Sheet metal prototyping involves cutting, bending, stamping and sometimes welding thin metal sheets into desired shapes.
Processes:  Laser Cutting, Waterjet Cutting, Bending, Stamping, Punching Welding.
Materials:  Aluminum 5052, Steel (Stainless or Mild), Copper and Brass
Finishing:  Deburring, Polishing, Powder Coating, Painting, Anodizing, Galvanizing, Plating, Bead Blasting, Brushing.

Plastic

A plastic prototype made by 3D printing, urethane casting or CNC machining is the most common and economic way to review the appearance and function of your design.

Metal

Metal prototypes and parts are typically created through CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication or die casting. Common metals include aluminum, magnesium, steel, brass, copper, etc.
