Prototyping

  At R&D Prototype, we utilize several prototyping methods to insure our customers are provided  with the best solution to meet their needs.  We use only the latest, high precision technologies to make objects that range in size from as small as .010" diameter to as large as 20 x 20 x 24 inches as a one piece build.  When a prototype larger than the 20 x 20 x 24 inch build envelope is required, that part is built in sections and merged together via a post processing technique to provide a one piece part as large as required.

   Whether our customers utilize our SLA, RTV, HUB, SLS, Quickcast, or FDM services, they can be assured that the prototype  they recieve  will enable them to accurately evaluate the actual  physical aesthetics, size,  and function of a product that had only  been previously viewed in two dimensional methods .

   The fit and function of individual components in an assembly can be tested, whether a very complex assembly or a specific fit,  using materials that accurately mimic the finished product.

Tooling

  R&D Prototype offers insert molding solutions to fulfill functional short run needs.  One of the major benefits from insert molding is that it offers our customers the ability to have an actual production material part without the cost of traditional tooling.  Prodution injection and blow mold services are avaliable through R&D Tool and Engineering.

Laser Digitizing

  R&D Prototype also offers Non-Contact Laser Digitizing services.  this is an excellent method of reverse engineering parts and molds.  The process offers a potable, fast, high quality, method for digitizing components.  The output file is avaliable in all popular file formats (.stp, .prt, .stl, .igs, .sldprt as well as others.)
