Concept Modeling

Concept models are used to verify that your design matches your required specifications. Concept modeling is one of the key initial steps in product development to eliminate or reduce project delays and costly modifications.

Additive Manufacturing solutions such as SLA, SLS and 3D Printing provide fast and cost effective quality parts for concept modeling applications. 3Dproparts offers the widest selection of additive and traditional materials to enables you to match your product’s final appearance and desired performance characteristics.

Industry Applications: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive and Truck, Consumer electronics, Education, Electrical equipment, Entertainment, Eyewear, Hobbyist, Household Goods, Jewelry, Medical, Personal Care Products, Sporting Goods, Toys and Games  (back to top)

 

Fit, Form & Function Verification

We recognize that during the product design and development it is important for you to check and test the functionality of an assembly of several components in its intended operating environment and required conditions (snap fit, sliding components…). Verification of form, fit and function of a component, product or entire assembly prior to investment in tooling reduces the risk of costly re-design, repeat tooling, and product manufacturing cost as well as delays in product launches.

3Dproparts’ extensive range of materials and manufacturing processes  enables you to perform all of your specified testing with parts matching the end-product characteristics such as durability, chemical resistance and all required fit and functionality attributes.

Patterns

Master Patterns are used as short term or disposable tools in low-volume production. Patterns may be produced from a variety of additive and traditional technologies and are used in many applications, such as Sand Casting, Plaster Casting, Investment Casting, Vacuum/Thermoforming, RTV or Silicone Molding. 3Dproparts produces precision patterns  that are ideal for any low volume casting or forming operation.

Customized Conditions applications

Many products are required to be tested in unique and harsh operating environments and be certified accordingly. At 3Dproparts we offer a range of extreme materials capable of delivering desired performance in the most  demanding operating environments. Examples of custom applications:

High Temperature Applications

  • 3Dproparts parts are placed in under-the-hood applications, high temperature fluid flow analysis, electronic devices, and numerous applications requiring high temperature resistance.

Chemical Resistance Applications

  • Parts are used to test resistance to specific chemicals, or to determine the most appropriate materials for functional testing with chemicals.

Wind Tunnel Testing

  • Parts used in testing of aerodynamics properties, for example in motorsports or aviation wind tunnel applications require demanding end-use material characteristics must be durable, resistant to extreme pressure and impact to replicate real life environments.

Fire Retardant Applications

  • Many consumer and aerospace products require fire retardant materials that comply with all required  FAA, UL or CE standard specifications. Using parts made from flame retardant materials reduces time and cost  in the product development and production cycle. 3Dproparts offers uniqe flame retardant materials enabling the you to test parts with reduced production of smoke and low toxicity.
