MANUFACTURING METHODS USED FOR PROTOTYPING
Feasibility of prototyping methods encompasses sketches, 3D printing, physical models, wireframes, and virtual or augmented reality simulations.
Prototyping is arguably the most important stage of the design journey. This experimental process allows teams to turn their ideas into tangible forms, creating the simplest possible execution of a design concept Provide us with a CAD file (.dxf format is best) along with information about your part, and we can typically prototype your solution within 24 to 48 hours using our in-house stock materials.

CAD software can be used for 3D printer prototyping, where prototype drawings are transferred directly using a design file with instructions to generate a physical model. Another advantage that CAD can have for rapid prototyping is that teams can collaborate and share designs
In addition to the methods mentioned above, we can also build chem-etched or steel-rule cutting dies to produce prototypes on flat-bed punch presses or rotary die cutting presses.
