Frequently Asked Questions About Rapid Prototyping
For custom metal projects, we offer custom metal cutting and bending, flat laser cutting, tube laser cutting, CNC punching, metal sheet bending, and welding and finishing services. We can assist multiple sectors with metal and laser cutting services for sheet metal parts and assemblies. We provide a range of metal sheet services, including rapid-fire sheet metal prototyping, high-quality sheet metal parts, and end-to-end sales and service to meet your complex metal fabrication requirements.
The metal fabrication process consists of turning raw sheet metal into finished product(s) through cutting, bending, forming, and finishing. With metal fabrication, you provide your sheet metal design, or we assist with design for manufacturability, we laser cut or custom metal sheet assemble your components, and we perform finishing services prior to shipping. Fabrication services are designed with speed in mind and provide a seamless flow from design input to delivered parts.
If you need tight tolerance and durable plastic and/or metal components, CNC machining is best for those prototypes and production parts that need to mimic the final stages of manufacturing. Use CNC for sheet metal components and for metal parts, and for fixtures or jigs when strength and precision are important. If the design is validated, injection molding or rapid injection molding should be considered for thermoplastic molded components or when a high-quality surface finish is required.
For concept models and functional prototypes, 3D printing services (SLA, FDM, advanced 3D printing) are useful for speeding up the prototyping process, but for molded components and final production runs, injection molding is always the best. Prototypes that are molded, however, can be obtained through rapid injection molding and bridge tooling in production-level thermoplastic materials to validate design and manufacturability prior to full production.
Quality prototype services provide a broad range of materials and technologies available. Some include FDM and SLA for polymer prototype. Industrial and metal 3D printing for metal components. CNC for close-tolerance work on metal and plastic components. Injection molding for thermoplastic production pieces. Available finishing and material options help balance desired performance and appearance for a functional test.
In the prototyping procedure, a user uploads a CAD (or computer-aided design), selects from manufacturing services (which include 3D printing, CNC milling, and injection molding), and receives an instant quote for the service. This prototype service allows for rapid design validation, automated design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA), and engineering reviews. With the help of rapid prototyping, feedback loops and lead times are maximized to help refine the design for the assembled tolerances, tooling, and overall manufacturability in order to provide components. This way, the service aims to expedite going to the market.
Lead times vary by service. For example, CNC machining can take anywhere from a few days to a week to complete, while 3D-printed parts can take only a few days to print. Then, with rapid injection, there can be a mold, and it can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to over a month. Costs depend on how much material you use. For example, with additive manufacturing, it is much more cost-effective for single parts and low volume parts. However, with rapid injection molding, it is more cost-effective for higher-volume prototypes and low-volume runs.
Manufacturing services provide prototype production, which will ultimately enable you to move into full production. Offering production parts, bridge tooling, and low-volume production options ensures support for all volume needs. The addition of expert engineering, DFM feedback, and multiple technologies will ensure the design is optimized across manufacturability and performance. This will enable smoother transitions to full production, enabling rapid market entry.
