Accelerate Development
Get your design into your hands early on and test new ideas directly on the part.
Rapid Prototyping with Industrial 3D Printing
Bringing ideas to life, testing components in a targeted manner.
We use your CAD data to create physical prototypes made of plastic or metal to verify shape, fit, and function before you move into mass production.
What is rapid prototyping?
- Fast turnaround: From CAD model to finished prototype, often within days instead of weeks
- Early testing is possible: Shape , fit, and function can be verified even before mass production
- Targeted refinement: Designchanges can be quickly incorporated and retested, without any new tooling costs
What Rapid Prototyping Can Do for You
Check for a proper fit
Test installation scenarios, interfaces, and how the system interacts with other components.
Try out the features
Test the behavior of your prototype using a material and method that are appropriate for your test objective.
Compare Options
Create different versions and use the results for the next stage of development.
Which prototype will help you move forward?
Assembly Prototypes
Check the dimensions, connections, and installation spaces. For example, for housings, mounts, or assemblies.
Functional prototypes
Test technical requirements under defined conditions. The material, manufacturing process, and post-processing are determined by your intended application.
Plastic or metal?
It all depends on your testing goal. We’ll advise you on material selection, manufacturability, and post-processing, tailored to the properties your prototype must already demonstrate.
Plastic Prototypes
For demonstration models, housings, assembly trials, and a wide range of functional tests. Depending on your requirements, you can choose from a variety of properties in terms of stiffness, flexibility, and temperature resistance.
Metal Prototypes
For applications that require metallic properties. For example, components subject to mechanical or thermal stress and complex functional parts.
