Rapid Prototyping Technologies

SLA—stereolithography

Available for both standard and high-resolution SLA parts, the process is versatile, cost-effective and ideal for creating highly detailed parts fast.

SLS—selective laser sintering

Functional parts from functional materials—nylon, glass-filled nylon and aluminum-filled nylon

CNC Machining—computer numerical control machining

Prototype concept models for parts that require specific production material properties

FDM—fused deposition modeling

Create conceptual models, engineering models and functional testing prototypes

Cast Urethane Molding

Use SLA prototypes to create silicone rubber molds that yield parts for low-volume production—ideal for sales and marketing samples, focus groups and functional testing where smaller quantities are needed
