Rapid Prototyping FAQs
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid Prototyping creates physical parts directly from 3D CAD designs using Additive Manufacturing or CNC Machining. It is essential for visual evaluation, fit checks, and Functional Testing prior to mass production.
How does it differ from traditional manufacturing?
Unlike Traditional Manufacturing (e.g., injection molding) which requires expensive tooling, Rapid Prototyping is often a tool-less process. This significantly reduces costs and lead times, making it ideal for Low-Volume Production and complex geometries.
What technologies do you use?
We utilize diverse technologies including Stereolithography (SLA) for high detail, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for functional parts, and CNC Machining for high-precision metal and plastic components.
What materials are available?
We offer a wide spectrum of materials, including rigid and flexible plastics and metals like Aluminum and Titanium. This allows us to closely match the Material Properties of your final production parts.
Can Rapid Prototyping be used for functional testing?
Yes. Using Engineering-Grade Materials and processes like CNC Machining, we produce high-strength parts suitable for rigorous Functional Testing, stress analysis, and assembly verification.
What dimensional tolerances can you achieve?
Precision depends on the technology. High-precision CNC Machining achieves tight Dimensional Tolerances of ±0.05mm, while SLA generally holds ±0.1mm, meeting requirements for most fit and function tests.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Most plastic 3D Printed parts ship within 24–48 hours. Complex projects involving CNC Machining or specialized Surface Finishing typically take 3–5 business days.
How is the cost calculated?
Cost is based on material volume, machine time, and complexity. By eliminating the need for Hard Tooling, Rapid Prototyping is the most Cost-Effective solution for small batches during development.
What file formats do you accept?
We require 3D CAD files in STL, STEP (.stp), or IGES (.igs) formats. Please provide 2D Drawings for parts requiring tight tolerances or threaded holes.
How do you protect my Intellectual Property (IP)?
We strictly adhere to confidentiality protocols to protect your Intellectual Property. We are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to ensure your proprietary designs remain secure.
