Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping: from the digital idea to the tangible model

Let's work together to turn your ideas into reality faster. From the initial concept sketch to the market-ready product - we will accompany you on the road to success with rapid prototyping. Your vision deserves to be realised quickly and efficiently - and we have the tools and expertise to make this possible.

Prototyping

The magic of rapid prototyping

Rapid prototyping is used for the lightning-fast production of sample parts directly from your design data:

  • CAD to reality: We transform your CAD data into tangible workpieces in the blink of an eye.
  • Accelerated development: Shorten your development cycles by up to 70 per cent.
  • Cost efficiency: Reduce development costs through early error detection and correction.

Diverse technologies for your needs

Our team of experts is proficient in a wide range of rapid prototyping processes:

  • 3D printing: For complex geometries and fast iterations.
  • Selective laser sintering (SLS): Ideal for functional prototypes made of plastic or metal.
  • Stereolithography (SLA): For high-precision models with a smooth surface.
  • Fused deposition modelling (FDM): Cost-effective and fast for simple concept models.

Added value through rapid prototyping

The integration of rapid prototyping into your development process offers numerous advantages:

  • Early error detection: Identify and fix design problems before they become costly.
  • Improved communication: Tangible models facilitate dialogue with stakeholders and customers.
  • Iterative design: Rapid prototypes enable more frequent design iterations and optimisations.
  • Reduced time-to-market risk: Thoroughly test your product before going into mass production.

Focus on sustainability

Our rapid prototyping approach also takes sustainability aspects into account:

  • Material efficiency: Additive manufacturing processes minimise material waste.
  • Energy efficiency: Modern machines optimise energy consumption.
  • Recycling: Many of the materials used can be recycled.
