Accelerate Your Design Process
In today’s market, time is often the most precious
commodity. Rapid prototyping accelerates the design and production
process, saving weeks in product development and giving you an
important marketing edge.
RAPID
MODELING
Ferriot’s rapid prototyping capabilities can put functional
prototypes in your hands a few days after the initial design is
complete. These dimensionally stable and highly accurate models allow
precise assessment of the fit and function of components. You can rely
on them to identify potential design improvements or to test your
product in the marketplace.
Let Ferriot provide you with an SLA or SLS Model
Send your CAD or STL file and we can create a model using one of
our existing rapid modeling technologies. The result is a prototype
model with high dimensional accuracy.
RAPID
TOOLING
From a working model (yours or ours), urethane prototypes can be
created in our vacuum-cast process. Resins can be selected that
simulate thermoplastics and rubber, which demonstrate various hardness
and flexibility characteristics. The resulting prototypes are replicas
of the original model, including the finest details and surface
properties.
If a higher prototype quantity is needed or if the life of a
program is low volume, cast aluminum-epoxy, cast Kirksite (zinc alloy)
or machined aluminum molds may fulfill your requirements. All of these
rapid tooling processes allow actual resin to be injected for UL
approval.
Explore new solutions, reduce time-to-market and avoid costly
engineering changes through the use of Ferriot’s rapid prototyping
capabilities.
