The New Way to Innovate
Before committing to an entire production run of a new product, it’s a good idea to create a prototype to test your idea.
Prototypes give you opportunities to touch and see a part, rather than just imagining it. Design tweaks and modifications are easy and inexpensive. Materials selection, sizing, and so many other details can be explored before ever paying to create a tool. Prototyping saves time and money in product development.
At rp+m, we provide rapid prototyping—so rapid that your prototype is often completed in as little as one day.
Benefits of Prototyping with rp+m
rp+m provides rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, rapid manufacturing, and 3D printing and scanning in-house. Our staff of expert engineers can help design, fabricate, and fine-tune prototypes.
We’re also able to create end-use parts on demand, using our digital manufacturing equipment. Our in-house machines are class-leaders, like the Stratasys and Objet systems.
You can design, prototype, and produce your products—all under one roof.
Creating prototypes with rp+m has many competitive advantages, including:
- Getting products to market faster.
- Reduction of lengthy production times.
- Elimination of costly steel tools normally needed for injection molding prototypes and production pieces.
We offer secondary processes in-house, including:
- Vapor smoothing
- Painting
- Sanding
- Plating
- Solvent dipping
- Urethane coating
