Rapid prototyping: from the digital idea to the tangible model
Let's work together to turn your ideas into reality faster. From the initial concept sketch to the market-ready product - we will accompany you on the road to success with rapid prototyping. Your vision deserves to be realised quickly and efficiently - and we have the tools and expertise to make this possible.
The magic of rapid prototyping
Rapid prototyping is used for the lightning-fast production of sample parts directly from your design data:
- CAD to reality: We transform your CAD data into tangible workpieces in the blink of an eye.
- Accelerated development: Shorten your development cycles by up to 70 per cent.
- Cost efficiency: Reduce development costs through early error detection and correction.
Diverse technologies for your needs
Our team of experts is proficient in a wide range of rapid prototyping processes:
- 3D printing: For complex geometries and fast iterations.
- Selective laser sintering (SLS): Ideal for functional prototypes made of plastic or metal.
- Stereolithography (SLA): For high-precision models with a smooth surface.
- Fused deposition modelling (FDM): Cost-effective and fast for simple concept models.
Added value through rapid prototyping
The integration of rapid prototyping into your development process offers numerous advantages:
- Early error detection: Identify and fix design problems before they become costly.
- Improved communication: Tangible models facilitate dialogue with stakeholders and customers.
- Iterative design: Rapid prototypes enable more frequent design iterations and optimisations.
- Reduced time-to-market risk: Thoroughly test your product before going into mass production.
Focus on sustainability
Our rapid prototyping approach also takes sustainability aspects into account:
- Material efficiency: Additive manufacturing processes minimise material waste.
- Energy efficiency: Modern machines optimise energy consumption.
- Recycling: Many of the materials used can be recycled.
