Rapid Prototyping

More than just a concept

Support already in the concept phase

Today, we often support our customers already in the concept phase. Our offer therefore also includes the provision of prototypes.

The advantage of rapid prototyping processes for the production of prototypes is the very short delivery time for the first fully functional prototype parts. The processes used are exclusively for mould and core production from materials that are close to series production. From the foundry's point of view, care is taken to ensure that the RP processes are used sensibly. Thus, the manufacturing conditions and restrictions to be taken into account for series production are already considered during prototype production and - such as difficult core assemblies - are even tested. Production-related surprises at the start of series production can thus be avoided in advance.

In many cases, the time advantage of RP processes far outweighs the relatively high unit costs for these prototypes. Investments in tools that are not suitable for series production are thus avoided at the prototype stage and open up new possibilities for the developers. Various design drafts can be examined for their suitability in technical trials before a well-founded decision is made for the best solution.
