Rapid Prototyping Solutions At Proto3000


 

How It Works

In the rapid prototyping world there are many processes and options available depending on a user's unique application. At the core of rapid prototyping lies the ability to produce replicate parts and models that mirror either the end-use part, or prototypes that act as part of a series in a new product development endeavor. The ability to prototype quickly and conveniently directly impacts any design or development process, resulting in both cost and time savings. 

Prototyping Processes 

PolyJet Technology works by jetting state of the art photopolymer materials in ultra-thin layers (16µ) onto a build tray layer by layer until the part is completed. The Technology was first created by Objet Geometries. This Polyjet Matrix Technology provided businesses and consumers alike with the tools to produce multi-material parts, however complex, in a timely manner. This technology is continuously improving, allowing for smaller machines, more accurate builds, and cost effective solutions.  
Stereolithography (SL or SLA) is an additive manufacturing technology for producing models, prototypes, patterns, and in some cases, production parts. This rapid prototyping process involves layering liquid photopolymer resin cured by a UV laser solidifying the final state. 
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a high power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse small particles of plastic, metal (direct metal laser sintering), ceramic, or glass powders into a mass that has a desired 3-dimensional shape. 
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technique commonly used in the rapid prototyping industry. It has a variety of applications but is most often used for modeling, prototyping and production applications. Fused deposition modeling is an additive process that layers the material to produce the finished prototype. A plastic or metal coil is unwound through a heated nozzle, melting the material in the desired shape.

Benefits

All our Plastic, Rubber, Translucent and Clear Prototyping parts are as functional as the end product, but without spending loads of money for injecting molds so you can test your idea. Our plastic prototype parts are durable as well as flexible if the need be. 


Trends, Applications, History and Outlook

Prototype parts that need to be or have the following:

  • Living hinges.
  • Snap fit Feature components.
  • Fluid Testing, as our prototypes can be transparent so you can see what goes on the inside.
  • Functioning Prototyping Springs.
  • Testing your CAD Design Model with a Prototype.
  • Plastic Prototyping Electronic Casings, so you can see if you can make your casing smaller. Bigger doesn't always mean better.
  • Use your 3D Prototyped parts for marketing and getting your idea across faster.
