Prototyping on a 3D Printer

Initially, 3D printing technology was conceived primarily as a tool for rapid prototyping, so its advantages in this area are obvious. Prototyping on a 3D printer offers multiple benefits:

  • Speed. Even the most complex 3D-printed items rarely take more than a day. If you need multiple parts to assemble a modular structure, the prototype can still be produced within a week, compared to months with traditional manufacturing methods;
  • Cost-effectiveness. You control the process and costs, which mainly consist of the 3D printing material. You may need external help to develop a 3D model, but otherwise, the work is handled by you and your 3D printer;
  • Convenience. Forget the days of ordering components and drawings from multiple sources. A 3D printer is a versatile production machine capable of producing anything from your 3D model, limited only by your imagination;
  • Visualization. For presentation models and prototypes, 3D printing is advantageous due to the variety of materials and simple post-processing options. Printed parts can be sanded, painted, drilled, or coated with varnish for the desired finish.

Creating Prototypes of Any Complexity

As mentioned, prototyping on a 3D printer is an extremely advantageous solution for any production field. Why? Because there are no limits in 3D printing. You can generate the boldest ideas and bring them to life using 3D technology. All you need are skills in 3D modeling or professional assistance. 3D graphics have no boundaries, and in 3D modeling software, you can design anything you imagine. A 3D printer will help bring these concepts to life.

Remember that 3D printing equipment is also extremely versatile, and any 3D model can be produced in volume. Manufacturers provide a wide range of 3D plastics with various properties. For example, if your model has many overhanging elements but requires a smooth surface, a water-soluble support material is available. And post-processing options are always possible (sanding, painting, etc.).

Ordering 3D Prototyping

Prototyping is especially advantageous if you own a 3D printer. However, if you haven’t acquired one yet but need a prototype urgently, 3D printing services are the solution. Our company offers 3D printing, 3D modeling, 3D design, mock-ups, and prototyping on order. We handle projects of any complexity and guarantee high-quality results.

We discuss all important details with clients to select the best approach for project implementation. You can view our work in the Portfolio. Orders for 3D prototyping and other services can be placed via phone or email listed in the “Contacts” section.
