Why Develop a Rapid Prototype?..................................

• Concept Models: See it early and enable your team to work through the design process with a more full understanding of the challenges involved.
• Functionality Tests: With a model that is to scale and made realistically to represent multiple moving parts, the design team can test how pieces fit together and interact with each other before moving to an expensive mold and factory sample
• Test Molds: Make precise molds and testing bases as a rapid prototype rather than spending weeks sculpting a device out of wood or metal.
• Presentation Models: Show your client or buyer more than a set of illustrations and a Powerpoint illustration! A 3-dimensional presentation will enable the client to understand the design more fully and get you to an approval stage faster and with more confidence.

There are 3 easy steps we go through..................................

1. We talk through your needs with you, give you an estimate, and go over how to submit your files to us.
2. We receive and import your 3D data file into our ZPrint® software, and start printing!
3. The final step before mailing you your model, we seal it with a special sealant which enhances any color, and strengthens the model.
