“Saved Us $$” Jacob N. British Columbia, Canada

“We thought our CAD drawings were exact, but decided to have you create a rapid prototype for us so we could verify the part before we went to manufacturing. We received our part and noticed we had an error in our drawing. Thanks to you, we were able to make a few modifications that saved us $$ on final tooling.”

Rapid Prototyping & 3D CAD Models

Rapid Prototyping Information

Rapid prototyping and 3D CAD models help people understand and visualize your product or idea.

Rapid prototyping and 3D CAD models are used to make a prototype (most often out of plastic) of how a product will look and feel. They are instrumental in helping others to grasp the power and capabilities of your system or idea.

3D CAD Models & Rapid Prototyping Benefits

The main benefits of using 3D CAD models and rapid prototyping technologies include:

  • Reducing time to market
  • Generating bottom-line savings
  • Enhancing communication and collaboration
  • Proving design and product feasibility
  • Gauging consumer interest
  • Decreasing costly mistakes
  • Highlighting product strengths and weaknesses

Today, 3D CAD models and rapid prototyping are being utilized in almost every industry and market. Engineers, scientists, designers, architects, surgeons, artists, and many other professionals are routinely turning to CAD models and rapid prototypes to better understand and grasp what they are trying to accomplish. By building models and prototypes they can highlight a product’s strengths and weaknesses, eliminate costly mistakes, and utilize them in actual field tests.

Rapid prototyping is a general term which includes any of the following processes: fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography apparatus (SLA), inkjet based systems, 3D CAD models, laminated object manufacturing (LOM), and 3 dimensional printing (3DP).
