CAD · Manufacturing · Iteration

Rapid prototyping

We turn digital concepts into physical parts to validate size, appearance, fit and function. We select the combination of 3D printing, CNC and post-processing that best suits the development stage.

Days

Short cycles from CAD file to a part ready for review.

3D + CNC

A combination of processes to balance speed, finish and mechanical properties.

Iterate

Learn from every test and correct before committing to tooling or production.

Service scope

Capabilities, applications and deliverables

We define the technical workflow based on the geometry, the functional requirements and the level of validation the project needs.

Capabilities

Equipment and technologies

  • Design, modeling and file preparation for different processes.
  • FDM, SLA or SLS printing depending on the application and availability.
  • CNC machining for components that require different materials or tolerances.
  • Sanding, painting, assembly, inserts and finishes subject to technical evaluation.

Validation

Purposes and deliverables

  • Validation of size, ergonomics, appearance and compatibility between components.
  • Fit, assembly and preliminary function testing.
  • Demonstrators for presentations, sales or concept communication.
  • Part or assembly with recommendations for the next iteration.

Applications

Where it adds value

The final setup is tailored to the industry, the part's use and the project's acceptance criteria.

Concept

Appearance models

Communicate volume, proportion and design before building a functional part.

Assembly

Form and fit testing

Check interfaces, clearances and assembly with real components.

Function

Working prototypes

Evaluate motion, preliminary loads and user experience.

Process

A controlled workflow from start to finish

Each stage produces verifiable information to reduce rework and keep technical decisions traceable.

  1. 01

    Brief and CAD

    We review the objective, file, quantity, finish and timeline.

  2. 02

    Process selection

    We define the technology, material, orientation and level of post-processing.

  3. 03

    Manufacturing

    We build and finish the prototype according to the agreed scope.

  4. 04

    Evaluation

    We review the results and prepare the next iteration if needed.
