Product development + prototypes
Prototyping is just one element of product development. We offer comprehensive product development services, allowing you to choose only the services you actually need, from actual design to drawing development, to prototyping, and then seamlessly into volume production.
We apply decades of wisdom born of experience to making the development process hassle free.
3-D printing and similar
We offer 3-D printing as well as SLS (Selective
Laser
Sintering), and sterolithography, all according to which will be best for your part design.
Prototype injection molding
For plastics, rubber and most silicone and urethane/polyurethane requirements, injection molding from a "soft alloy" prototype mold is the gold standard for a real world part in terms of appearance, durability and environmental exposure properties. It's more expensive than 3-D printing but at the least, it is noticeably more durable and with better appearance. Yet, it is still much less expensive than production tooling.
Open mold casting
For some urethane and silicone requirements, usually larger and/or short run parts, open mold casing offers a cost effective way to prototype. Urethane and silicone can be cast from liquid form, which is what makes this method practical for casting. Tooling is usually less expensive than a prototype injection mold.
