Rapid prototyping, vacuum casting in silicone molds and three-dimensional laser scanning are key technologies to update promptly the range of products, respond quickly to the constantly growing and changing demands of consumers, reduce training costs of production and its duration. These technologies are used at almost all stages of preparation of industrial products: when considering the idea of the feasibility issue, exploring design, construction, verification, collection, testing, refining, marketing research, the creation of devices and so on.

Engineering Centers has a wide range of technological capabilities that address a variety of tasks in these fields:

Getting spatial mathematical models of products using CAD tools or space laser scanning of existing designs;

Rapid prototyping techniques FDM (ABS-plastic ) and 3D-printing (of the powder, similar to gypsum);

vacuum casting in silicone molds plastics with different physical and mechanical properties, as well as injection waxes.

Plan to order fulfillment is pretty simple:

1) The customer provides a sketch, a drawing or a 3D-model, usually by e-mail to clarify the stated number of manufactured products, color and texture of the surface, the need for special coatings, such as shielding or conductive ;

2) specialist engineering center calculates the price and duration of works, if necessary, performed clarification and harmonization of technical requirements for products and delivery;

3) on reaching agreement of the parties to execute the required documents (contract, bill, etc.);

4) order is passed in the production

In fact, prototypes of products is a layer-creation of the physical structures on the basis of the developed mathematical model. Among the benefits of technology: the visibility, shorter pre-production, as well as reducing the cost of construction and design. Rapid prototyping involves several steps, the first of which is the mathematical modeling. This technology is to develop a mathematical model of a product in a format STL. Then, to refine the required types of surface texture is carried out to improve the prototype. Note that if you have a sample of parts, manufacturing of the prototype is not required. You are provided of a sample that can be used as a master model in the production of silicone tooling. Prototypes of products also include the refinement of the technologies, direct manufacturing of models and the final revision.
Rapid prototyping” is the common name of a number of new automated technologies, which came in the last decade to replace or assist in hand-made models, models or prototypes. Prototypes, in particular, are the first full-scale and often functional, samples of products of the new design or design execution issued, usually of 1-3 pc.

Usually two methods of rapid prototyping are used. They are FDM and 3D-printing. FDM-prototyping is a “growing” product samples in a special installation method of layer deposition half-melted plastic filament emerging from the die, in accordance with the control program. 3D-printing from finely divided powder layers lay out and glued with a special compound.

Over the recent decades rapid prototyping services managed with solving lots of tech problems happening when trying to show a product, design or model. Have you come across such a problem too? Then you are welcomed to check out a rapid prototyping methodology site.

And remember that we live in the world of high technologies. Bear in mind that modern web technologies offer you a unique chance to try and to find anything you might require. Use them to look for cheap rapid prototyping. Should you want to keep track of the latest publications on the subject subscribe to the RSS feed on this blog.
