Prototyping is an integral part of the manufacturing design process. The advent of 3D rapid prototyping makes it easier and more cost-effective than ever to develop prototypes. You can now prototype faster, more efficiently, and cheaper with Fab Masters.
Rapid prototyping accelerates the product design cycle, while also allowing engineers to verify the product’s manufacturability. This accelerated prototyping includes a number of processes that can produce small quantities of parts without the need for expensive and time-consuming tooling. This means that you can have a speedier turnaround on prototyped parts, allowing you to make adjustments and revisions more quickly Rapid prototyping is also now possible of nearly any 2D or 3D shape.
Tooling increases the time and cost needed to complete a prototype, and this process often must be repeated as design modifications are made to the part or product. With rapid prototyping, however, engineers and designers have the ability to evaluate a product for usability, quality, form, fit, function, manufacturability and appearance before making the decision to commit to the conventional manufacturing of a finished product.
Design assistance is also available to our customers. We provide early input into the extrusion design and manufacturing process so that you don’t find yourself in a manufacturing jam with last-minute changes to the product. This design assistance provides a valuable opportunity for customers to reduce manufacturing and part development costs with our insights and knowledge from the fabrication aspect of the production process.
At Fab Masters, we do more than just fabrication. We provide problem-solving solutions for our clients, including project design, process development, and validation of product manufacturability and quality. We take a proactive approach to the customer-supplier relationship by providing manufacturing expertise and design and manufacturability insights. In other words, we can be a partner rather than just a supplier.
Fab Masters has been producing and delivering high-performance parts since 1984. We partner with our customers to help them develop and manufacture innovative products. Contact us today by calling 877-320-2280 to learn how we can help you prototype faster, more efficiently, and less expensively.
