Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping is our core business and has the best cost benefit ratio of any new product development service we offer. Rapid prototyping is the fastest way to realize new design. It’s no wonder Racing Design Solutions choose the fastest of the fast. Z-Corp’s 3D printers are literally 5 to 10 times faster than other rapid prototyping methods. This allows more control of the only thing we can’t make, Time!

This service makes good business sense because you see the product or part sooner. Parts in hand have the greatest impact on clear effective communication. The sooner all parties see a common vision (part) the faster new product development can proceed without retracing previously taken steps. Protos in hand will always enhance responsiveness and flexibility during the product development cycle.

RDS can produce almost any geometry, even unfinished designs. Post processing of 3D parts can allow for machining, drilling, tapping, painting, even chroming. Build volume is 8”x 10”x 8” and larger models can be epoxied together from multiple pieces. Our 3D printers allow more complex geometries and small features with a high resolution of 300 x 450 dpi.

Streamline Design, Engineering, Sales and Marketing

Streamline Design

Create more prototypes sooner
Make ideas easier to visualize
Make decisions faster by reviewing tangible options
Identify form, fit, function errors early
Improve communication with supplier, vendors, customers

Engineering

Critique multiple iterations by all teams
Can product almost any surface finish to produce exact replicas for feedback
Can be used for evaluation, including fit, finish, and flow
Can be used to quickly illustrate material stresses before starting tooling development

Jumpstart Sales and Marketing

Create realistic prototypes for focus groups
Develop and evaluate packaging options
Begin selling with realistic models long before manufacturing delivers product

If your work is at all design-oriented you will find the 3D models will help every step of the way.

So when you are in need of fast rapid prototypes of your 3D CAD designs, call RDS and let us help you push your ideas forward faster.

Protos in hand enhance the entire design process. Companies like Sony, Fisher Price, Adidas, Canon, Nike, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BMW, Porsche, United Technologies, Ford, Mercedes, Chrysler, Harvard, MIT, Yale, and countless others use the time compressing rapid prototypes, why don’t you?

Most common applications for rapid prototypes include automotive, both OE and aftermarket, aerospace, communications, architectural, military, medical, dental, even jewelry design and manufacturing.

Don’t miss out on the competitive advantages rapid prototyping can offer you today.
