Over the years, it has been know that new means are needed for the rapid and cheap production of prototypes. The solution is 3D printing, a process that in time became cheaper and faster due to the advancement of technology, allowing the production of prototypes and / or the final products with lower costs. Also, this technology offers the possibility to create complex geometries, often impossible to achieve thru classical processes.
Usually the first prototype is raw because we want you to take a first impression of the product so it does not matter so much the quality, but the closer you get to the final design you want the prototype to be of the highest quality. Also, the purpose of the prototype is to test its functionality or properties under certain environmental conditions, which means that each prototype must have certain characteristics that will influence the print time.
HOW IT WORKS?
Rapid prototyping technologies deposit material layer by layer until the required shape is obtained, rather than removing material by cutting or other conventional methods and they allow a greater flexibility than the conventional methods because the complexity of the geometric shape of the model that doesn’t impose any limitations.
This new rapid prototyping technology produces fast 3D models with good accuracy, reducing the time required for the research and development phase of a new product, ultimately reducing not only the time, but also the cost of the product.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE OUR 3D PRINTING SERVICES?
It’s simple… rapid prototyping saves time and money!
Using the traditional methods, for each prototype, a separate mold or a unique product should be created. This means that before having the final product it can be made multiple molds and multiple unique test products, which will generate huge costs.
With 3D printing you’ll say ‚YES to more prototypes in a shorter time, better flexibility, efficient testing and faster feedback.
LET’S SEE HOW MANY PIECES DO YOU NEED…
In order to see in what direction your future product is heading, you need to know the answer to a few questions:
How many products do you think you need in total?
How many products do you need per month or even per week?
How complex is the product, is it a multi-piece ensemble or just one piece?
What mechanical characteristics must have the product… should it be shiny?
These questions are just the beginning but it helps us to have an overview and offers the possibility to approach the most important question: How much is the price per piece?
We understand that sometimes it is difficult to answer these questions, so we strongly recommend that you contact one of our experts to work together and make your ideas real. Let’s connect!
