Prototyping applications

Form and fit verification

Check dimensions, assembly interfaces, and ergonomics before production tooling.

Functional testing

Test snap-fits, heat resistance, chemical exposure with production-intent materials.

Design iteration

Print v1 Monday, review Tuesday, print v2 Wednesday. No tooling between iterations.

Client presentations

Physical parts for stakeholders and customers. Builds confidence in the design.

Pre-production validation

Validate enclosure fit with real PCBs, sensors, and cables before ordering molds.

Small-batch testing

5–20 units for field testing, beta programs, or certification samples.

Materials for prototyping

MaterialBest for
PLAFast form checks. Not for functional testing.
PETGFunctional prototypes with snap-fits and chemical resistance.
ASAOutdoor prototypes. UV and weather testing.
PA-CFStiffness and heat testing for jigs and structural parts.
TPUFlexible prototypes. Gaskets, seals, compliant mechanisms.
