Our Rapid Prototyping Capabilities
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) – Utilizing cutting-edge technologies, we offer quick turnarounds for prototyping, bridge production, or low-volume manufacturing. These technologies enable us to work with a wide range of materials, from elastomers to rigid plastics, to meet your specific project requirements. Our capabilities include:
- Urethane Casting – For low-volume production or functional prototypes, our urethane casting services provide a cost-effective solution. With over 25 years of experience, we produce high-quality castings suitable for housings, covers, and more, offering quantities from one to hundreds of units.
CNC Machining – Our seasoned CNC programmers specialize in machining complex metal and plastic components, including high-performance materials like PEEK and Ultem™. This capability ensures precision and quality in both prototype and production parts.- Plastic Injection Molding – We excel in low-volume, precision plastic injection molding, catering to industries such as medical, defense, industrial, and consumer products. Our expertise includes processing standard and high-performance materials, ensuring your components meet stringent quality standards.
- Finish and Paint – Our dedicated finishing team provides services like sanding, painting, and assembly, delivering production-quality finishes for prototypes or marketing samples. This attention to detail ensures your products not only function flawlessly but also look impeccable.
- New Product Introduction (NPI) Launch Lab – Our NPI Launch Lab offers a collaborative space to refine your products, focusing on Design for Manufacturability (DFM), developing work instructions, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and optimizing production lines. This resource ensures a seamless transition from prototype to full-scale manufacturing.
