Rapid prototyping Rapid production of functional prototypes
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Prototyping
Thanks to a set of technologies and specially designed processes, we are able to provide comprehensive prototype production for your needs. Rapid prototyping is mainly used to create primary samples, especially from plastics or rubber. These methods are employed because of their speed and low cost compared to the complex and expensive manufacturing of moulds for the pressure injection moulding of plastics. It is also possible to make bosses on a semi-finished product, or to combine two parts through a fixed connection. We are able to produce fixtures and moulds with a view to possible serial production.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
We can make the first prototype of the required part using:
- Direct machining from the requested material (plastics and metals)
- 3D printing (plastics and metals)
- Casting into metal moulds (plastics and rubbers)
- Casting into silicone moulds (plastics and rubbers)
WHAT WILL GIVE YOU THE EDGE?
Polyurethane casting
Polyurethane (PU) casting is a popular way to manufacture parts owing to the excellent properties achieved.
Polyurethane has:
- Dimensional stability
- Chemical resistance
- Optional PU colouring
- Temperature resistance
-
Choice of hardness for the final part
(hardness Shore A 13–90) – rubber replacement - Can be combined with other parts
HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY
Key advantages
- Low cost of prototypes
- Fast ‘design to product’
-
No need to own an injection press
and manufacture expensive moulds - Completely functional products
DOCUMENTATION
What we need
- 3D model or drawings
- Information about the required properties of the final part
- Semi-finished final products or manufacturing data
- Expected volume of production
