Bring your ideas to life with
Concept Modeling
Initial Phase of Product Development
This was and is the most popular application of 3D printing. Done in the initial phase of product development. Your idea comes to life using the combination of 3D design software and 3D printing. When printed the design is made tangible for a team to review the new products Form, Fit, and Feel. Many iterations of the parts can be printed and used to make final product decisions. Most of the time these are created quickly and in a “raw” form.
How can this be done?
- Standard, engineering and performance materials
- Standard, Engineering, and Performance Materials.
- Can create small, medium and large prototypes quickly.
- Great for Form, Fit and Feel testing.
- Full-color modeling
- Pantone validate capabilities
- Include sensory, functional and tactile materials such as the Rubber-like, High Impact (D-ABS), UltraClearS (glass like), VeroUltra™
- Creates multiple prototypes at one time
- Variety of materials
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY PRINTER

Polymer Printers
- FDM printers, Standard, Engineering, and Performance Materials. Can create small, medium and large prototypes quickly. great for Form, Fit and Feel testing.
- Polyjet Printers: Outstanding visual full-color modeling extends the model printing experience to include sensory, functional and tactile materials such as the Rubber-like, High Impact (D-ABS), UltraClearS (glass like), VeroUltra™ materials together with the full-color Pantone validate capabilities.
- Origin1 P3; Uses Material based on requirements. Can print several prototypes at one time .
- Stereolithography printer, materials based on requirements.
- Caracol Robotics printer: Used when you need large prototypes and can use any one of a large assortment of materials.
Metal Printers
- SLS Metal; Technology is used for low numbers of lightweight small metal parts and can use several different materials.
- Wire-Laser technology: for near-net-shaped metal parts printed as inexpensively as plastic parts.
