We offer a comprehensive solution to meet your injection molding plastic prototype needs. We offer four types of prototyping processes to meet our customers specifications and requirements. Each with its unique characteristics to meet specific goals our customer may. Our goal is to provide our customer with the best services technology has to offer in the most cost effective manner. Please review the following available prototyping services we offer. We want to quote and build your next project. 

                         Available Prototyping Service

1. SLA/Stereo lithography models:

Stereo lithography is a rapid-prototyping process which produces a 3D model from a cad file. The stereo lithography machine uses a computer controlled laser to cure a photo-sensitive resin, layer by layer, to create a 3D part. This process is fast and produces highly accurate prototypes in a matter of hours that have excellent surface finishes. The process can be used when prototypes are to be made for visualization where appearance matters, but functionality does not. The photo-sensitive resins do not have the physical, mechanical or thermal properties typically required of end use production material. Typical tolerances for SLA is .005".


2. FDM/Fused Deposit Modeling:

Fused Deposition Modeling is a solid-based rapid prototyping process that extrudes production-type materials, layer-by layer, to build a 3D model. This process produces parts in highly durable ABS, polycarbonate, or Polyphenysulfone plastic. Because of their highly desirable mechanical properties and accuracy, this process is excellent for FUNCTIONAL plastic prototypes. The standard finish for FDM is a light-sand and bead-blast. The material can also be painted, metalized, drilled, tapped, etc. Typical tolerances for FDM are .010".

3. RTV/Urethane Molding:

This process uses a FDM or SLA master to produce a RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization) mold.
The initial master is coated in a silicone-based liquid rubber. once the liquid hardens, the master part is removed, and the void left behind is injected with a urethane that matches the customers specifications. Several material correct copies per day (20 max. from a single mold) can then be made prior to production from selected urethane with desired material properties. This process offers fast turn-around, high degree of accuracy, good finish, and reduction in cost when multiple copies are required.

4. Thermoplastic Prototype Models/Rapid Prototype Tooling:

This option offers final part quality molded in actual polymer. Quantities of 5,000 plastic prototypes or more can be produced from a single mold using this technique.
Rapid tooling is a process that provides excellent quality injection molded parts in a quick and timely manner. Rapid prototype tools are used to produce high quality thermoplastic parts in small quantities or production quantities. Once supplied with our customers requirements (i.e. annual production, material desired, lead time,...etc.), we will determine the best technology to cost effectively design the tool and run your parts.
