Historically, metal components for automobiles were made in foundries or sheet metal stamping facilities. These processes were not suited to small-volume production, particularly the one-off designs used in prototype development. Some machinists were able to make individual metal parts using hand tools and basic milling machines, but the speed was limited because of the time […]
Reverse engineering involves creation of design information from existing physical samples. This is often required if you need to duplicate an item and drawings are not available or the item in no longer being manufactured. Keep reading to learn more about how rapid prototyping 3D printing can help with this process.

If you are an inventor or entrepreneur trying to bring a new idea to market, you probably have been working on making a model of your item. Perhaps you’ve mocked up a design in your workshop, and are now ready to get a model that better represents your intended production part. Or maybe you have […]
When it comes to product development, having parts ready to demonstrate your design to other members of your team or potential customers is critical. It can be hard to choose the right prototype companies to meet your goals. Here are some ideas to consider as you explore the options.

There are significant ways that rapid prototyping manufacturing can make your design and production phases both efficient and profitable.
Among the different methods used for creating sample models of a finished product before going into full production, rapid prototyping has become one of the highest in demand. By using rapid prototyping services from a reputable source, you end up with a full-scale model of the part or component you need to have made.
Unlike more […]
Whether you need a part or component made for your manufacturing process or as part of a consumer product, you want to make sure it is perfect. Even one small error could lead to a faulty product to great consequences. For representative and accurate prototypes, it is critical that you choose among the most respected […]
When it comes to rapid prototyping, there are several different options. These include 3-D printing, sand casting, selective laser sintering, investment casting, fabrication, and CNC rapid prototyping. While they all offer unique advantages, there are some unique advantages to CNC rapid prototype machining.
