Request Information

     Modelmaking, Prototyping and Rapid Prototyping are the 3D visualization and functional test tools of the Product Designer and Engineer.  Modelmaking is referred to when we go 3D or three dimensional. It may be in cardboard or it may be molded urethane, the art of and now science of model making is about craftsmanship.  Rapid Prototyping is a term used to describe state of the art CAD/CAM (computer-aided design & computer-aided machining or modeling) technologies, particularly Stereolithography (SLA - See below).  Rapid Prototyping, CAD/CAM and modelmaking services range from generating quick solid form study models or scaled or mock-up models to completely engineered working prototypes. Our philosophy is to go 3D as much as possible and as soon as possible.  CAD/CAM and CNC machining combined with Rapid Metal and Rapid Molding and Stereolithography (SLA) are our latest development weapon critical to speed to market. 

     Modeling and "Proof of Concept" development in ProEngineer® or CAD and generating SLA or SLS or CNC machined models can be a fast, effective way to evaluate real world issues and mass production development. Read on more... about Prototyping services.
