Rapid Prototyping is the latest technology for the design world. Described as 3-dimensional printing, it is an exciting way of producing a pre-production model that can be handled and evaluated for its suitability in context.
A scale or full size model can be designed and 'printed' within days. This revolutionary form of printing will give you a tangable, 3-dimensional mock up of your product or design concept.

About the model-making process |
Technical drawings can be taken from many different CAD packages and converted into files for the printer (STL) files.
|
Model Size:
Maximum size: 254 x 254 x 305 mm
(10 x 10 x 12 inches)
Materials:
Models are created in a durable 'plastic' (ABSplus)
Colours:
natural(white), red, blue, olive green, black, grey, fluorescent yellow and nectarine.
|
Support Structures and Removal:
Where designed structures will not support themselves, the printing process uses a support material which is easily removed after printing. This enables complex, interlocking structures to be printed.
Layer Thickness:
.254 mm (.010 in.) or .33 mm. (.013 in.) of precisely deposited ABS and support material.
