Specializing in Creating Quality 3D Printed Prototypes
One of the most popular manufacturing techniques in the world, 3D printing has become extremely prevalent. It’s an additive manufacturing process used for developing prototypes as well as end products. Because of its affordability, it can be used across different parts of the development process to improve upon the design process and the product itself.
This form of technology isn’t limited to the top end companies, even regular design and development hobbyists are on-board to create exceptional and new applications. It’s being used to take a design on paper or the computer and convert it into an actual, physical form.
How Does 3D Printing Work?
3D printing takes a CAD design from the computer, and the printer itself begins to lay down the structure in physical form. It takes various parameters into consideration for height, depth and volume of the structure.
The process is known as additive manufacturing for that purpose. There are several different forms of 3D printing, and each has its own pros and cons. Depending on your use case, the end process may vary widely.
How To Select The Right 3D Printing Technology?
As previously mentioned, every 3D printing process has its upsides and negatives. The main determining factor are your applications. Different materials work better for certain processes, and a prototype may not require the same level of precision as a final product. Will you be reiterating or is this a one-off project? What specific qualities does the material have? Is it flexible? Does it react well to heat?
All of these questions have to be asked and discussed. They will help you decide where you stand and what kind of material will work best for your specific needs. Once you’ve figured out what exactly you need, you can move forward to crafting your product.

Our Molding Services
Injection Molding
Injection molding is the ideal solution for many general custom plastic molding needs. The process is well-suited to a wide variety of material choices and is perfect for high-quantity runs. Standard injection molding offers fast turnaround with high quality and competitive pricing.
Urethane Casting
Urethane casting is one of the best choices you can make for short-run or prototype production. Rather than a tool steel mold that can take weeks to manufacture and costs tens of thousands of dollars, urethane casting operates out of a soft mold, creating lower tooling costs and faster turnarounds times than other processes.
