Test, refine, and go to market faster with CFS prototyping
We offer 3D printing for prototypes of custom moldings and extrusions. Rapid prototyping with 3D printing is the quick, easy, cost effective way to turn great ideas into successful products. Test the fit, function and performance of your product in advance of full-scale production to ensure you have what you want.
Rapid prototyping solutions from CFS will give you the flexibility to create, test and refine in ways you never thought possible and go to market faster than your competitors. If your original design was not exactly what your application requires, simply provide the changes and we can have new samples out the same day.
Need prototype parts immediately for a pilot run? We can ship parts the same day without the need for tooling. To speak to an experienced representative, contact us today. We would be happy to prepare a detailed quote for your specific needs.
Benefits of Rapid prototyping
Speed and Efficiency: Rapid prototyping significanty reduces the time it takes to create a mold or other part, allowing for quicker iterations and faster product development cycles. This speed is particularly helpful for meeting tight deadlines or quickly responding to market changes.
Cost-Effectiveness: Traditional molding processes can be expensive, especially if multiple trials are required. Rapid prototyping allows for the production of inexpensive product models, reducing the costs involved with tooling and material waste.
Design Flexibility: Rapid prototyping enables designers to test different versions and refine their designs before committing to a final mold. This flexibility ensures that the final product is optimized for performance and manufacturability.
Risk Reduction: By creating a prototype, designers and engineers can identify and address potential design flaws early in the development process. This reduces the risk of costly mistakes in the final production run.
Improved Communication: Physical prototypes can be used to facilitate better communication between designers, engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders. They provide a tangible representation of the design, making it easier to convey ideas and gather feedback.
Customization: Rapid prototyping is ideal for custom moldings as it allows for easy adjustments to meet specific requirements or preferences. This is particularly useful in industries where products need to be tailored to invidivual needs.
Testing and Validation: Prototypes can be used to test and check the functionality, fit and performance of a design before it goes into production. This provides proof that the final product will meet the desired quality standards and functionality.
Overall, rapid prototyping of custom moldings and extrusions serves as an important and desirable step in the product development process by making it faster, more cost-efective, and more adaptable to changes and custom requirements.
