3D Printing Rapid Prototyping Service | 3D Printed Prototypes
What is 3D Prototyping Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping of 3D printing is the technology of making a digital CAD model a physical object by means of additive manufacturing, layer-by-layer printing. It enables designers and engineers to carry out design intent, geometry, material performance, and assembly testing before full-scale production.
Our technology center for 3d printing rapid prototyping service involves the utilization of SLA, SLS, MJF, and DMLS printing services, which are supported by both plastic and metal materials. Such high technologies permit freedom in the design, mass customization, and even the use of low-cost production. In other words, assembly processes are reduced to the minimum, and the time-to-market is shorter.
Why Should We Use 3D Printing in Product Development?
The 3D printing, known as rapid prototyping, allows you to realize your ideas during the initial stages of the product design. The visualization of parts can be carried out, and they can be tested and refined within a short period, which is resource-saving.
The 3D printed prototype services can be used to simplify product development in the following way:
Speed: Fast cycle of testing and feedback.
Economy: Eliminate the use of tooling and molds.
Flexibility: Structuralize and reorganize designs in time.
Functionality: Test the functionality, form, and fit with working 3D printed prototypes.
Scalability: Facile shift between prototype and low-level production.
In GD Prototypes, we have provided on-demand 3D printing service to support multi-material 3D printing, and, consequently, it is possible to produce hybrid parts to mimic end-use functionality.
The Benefits of Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing
The advantages of prototyping 3D printing through professional methods are infinite to the engineers and businesses:
Design Freedom: Design complex geometry, internal organization that would otherwise have been impossible to accomplish.
Mass Customization: It is the prototype of the kind, where you have the option of tailoring it to your requirements.
Reduced Lead Time: Relish Lead time production - short - perfect when emergency projects are involved.
Precision and Quality: We have a precision 3D printing service, which is assured to have tight tolerances and dimensional accuracy.
Sustainability: Less materials wasted through additive manufacturing services.
The design of all the components is done in engineering-grade materials to ensure the real-world performance and reliability as well and durability.
The 3D Rapid Printing Technology
Our rapid prototyping services (3D printing) are available using numerous technologies, depending on the project needs:
SLA (Stereolithography)
The ideal option of 3D printed models with a bright and smooth surface. Typically, prototyping of medical devices, consumer electronics, and concept modeling.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
The perfect 3D printer to work with nylon and composite to create a perfect functional prototype. Delivers high-impact, super-strong products to the automotive and aerospace sectors.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Plastic prototype 3D printing is economical and may be applied to perform mechanical tests and generate low volumes.
DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)
Field's metal 3D printing prototyping of aerospace, robotics, and industrial tooling. Manufacturing high-strength aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium components.
We also have 3D printing in multi-material and resin, carbon fiber 3D printing to enable us to get parts that are highly temperature resistant and custom finishes as well.
3D Printing Prototyping in Industry
The services of the 3D prototype development must be flexible:
Auto 3D Prototyping: Housing, functional components, and dashboard components.
Prototyping in Medical Devices: Surgical guide prototyping, prosthetics, and other medical-grade devices.
Consumer Electronics Prototyping in casings, enclosures, and ergonomics.
Architecture Model 3D Printers: Architecture Model scaling and design representation.
Robotics & Automation: Sensor arms, jigs, and sensor housings.
Our other markets include industrial equipment prototyping, research and development models, and small batch production of startups and manufacturers.
Quality, Accuracy & Testing
Quality is a compulsory element in all the projects in GD Prototypes. Each commission printing service will undergo numerous verifications of prototypes, such as checking of dimensional accuracy, performance, and optimization of surface finish.
We fall into the requirements of ISO- approved rapid prototyping and provide repeat quality manufacturing of prototypes and end-use parts. All the parts fit perfectly in your assembly with 3D printing, which is a small tolerance process.
To ensure the performance, we also do the prototype durability tests and design validation services, such that all prototypes are capable of performing the functions they are meant to do.
Prototyping Materials, 3D Printed
Our custom 3D printing prototyping has a wide range of materials:
Plastics: ABS, Nylon, PETG, Polycarbonate, and PLA.
The resins include Photopolymer, Transparent, Flexible, and High-Temperature.
Metals: Titanium, Aluminum, Stainless Steel.
Composites: It contains carbon fiber as well as glass-filled nylon.
Each material is selected based on the strengths of the material used mechanically, surface quality, and cost-effectiveness of the material, depending on your intended use of the design.
CAD to Functional Prototype
We begin with your CAD model, which we prepare and are ready to be fabricated digitally. Sophisticated software is used to slice and determine our layer resolution, DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) optimization.
This workflow makes it possible to concept model quickly, to prototype and post-process, including finishing the surface, painting it, and assembling.
The 3D Printing Role within Industry 4.0
The advent of Industry 4.0 has made 3D printing technology smarter, and the aspects of data-driven prototyping and AI-supported 3D design are significant. Cloud-based CAD modeling and Internet of Things manufacturing allow engineers to enjoy real-time control of production and quality.
Our digital production tools will help you to realize ideas in an even smarter and faster fashion. Sustainable 3D printing reduces waste and ensures less energy is used, hence supporting sustainable innovation.
