Design Innovation can provide you with engineering prototypes made by any of the standard manufacturing processes, plus rapid prototyping techniques including stereolithography, 3D printing, fused deposition modeling and selective laser sintering. We can also make machined working models incorporating repeatably flexible sections and precision snapfits, either from 3D CAD files or from 2D drawings. While not illustrated in the photos below, we've had excellent prototype success with fused deposition modeling, which can produce parts with physical properties close to those of injection molded parts.

We have ongoing business relationships with rapid prototype service providers who can generally ship prototypes in under 48 hours. From any of these rapid prototype models, limited-use silicone molds can be made to provide cast urethane parts for detailed prototypes or even first production. We have a network of manufacturers with a proven history of delivering high quality, cost-effective parts. Assembly of prototypes and short-run production is performed by Design Innovation to strict quality standards. We are able to make prototype units and trade show models that look and feel like actual production units.
