Combined with our 3D CAD services, we have
access to the latest state of the art rapid prototype manufacturing
processes,
enabling the manufacture of very accurate, life size, near finished
product mockups within just days.
The high end rapid prototype techniques
available to us are more typically associated with aerospace and
motorsport applications,
using sterolithography “SLA” methods and specialist
materials. The advanced nature of rapid prototyping enables the
manufacture
of extremely complex, intricate parts that cannot even be considered
through machining or die casting, opening up an entire new world
of creativity!
The materials are typically polymer or “plastic” based,
meaning parts have a useable strength and durability, and even
rapid metals are now available for that real wow factor – opening
up a world of previously impossible design that is now suitable
for premium retail product use as well as one off concepts.
