Test Your Ideas
Concept Validation
Go beyond traditional words and CAD pictures with highly realistic 3D printed prototypes and gain early buy-in from customers and stakeholders before committing to costly production.
Fit Checks
Quickly check your design’s form and fit with mating parts using time-efficient, accurate 3D printed prototypes.
Functional Tests
Test your designs in the same environment as the production part. Engineering-grade thermoplastics and flexible materials give your prototypes functional capability under operational conditions.
