Have enough of projects that drag on and turn into a headache ?
And so do we! Before ordering an injection mold which costs a few thousand euros, we make prototypes which allow us to simplify the process of validating shapes, assemblies and properties.
Prototyping :
- Reduces time-to-market
- Avoids many mistakes
- Also allows you to check the finishings
Prototyping speeds up the validation process
Thanks to our network of local partners, we can quickly call upon various prototyping techniques :
- Polystyrene or foam machining, for the approval of large parts
- Paper or cardboard prototypes
For instance : To confirm the ergonomics of a grip
The most precise prototyping techniques allow to obtain realistic shapes and to approve the assembly of parts :
- 3D FDM printing
- Laser sintering
- Stereolithography
- LAB machining
- Very small PU series
For instance : fitting a lid on a box
In order to meet the technical specifications, it is necessary to check the characteristics of the product. Creating a prototype in a material that has the same mechanical features, allows to test :
- The rigidity
- The matt or shiny aspects
- The opaque or clear aspect
- The firmness
3D printing allows the quick creation of a workable prototype.
- Varied materials (PLA, ABS, FLEX, NYLON, PETG, PVA, HIPS, PC, FPE, etc.)
- Parts of 20x30x30 cm (more if gathered)
A few examples of prototypes
Help in choosing technologies
Prototyping allows us to validate the appearance and ergonomics before purchasing the tools, regardless of the manufacturing technology chosen.
