Prototype Options

Do you need:

  • A visual presentation for an exhibition?
  • To see a selected part of your design work?
  • To test a mini-series without getting into a mold?

To see a 3D model physically before the product has left the drawing board, will shorten development time dramatically by up to 20-50% compared to traditional development with various modifications of the mold.

A prototype provides the ideal starting point, because you early in the development process can visualize and evaluate the product along with other team members involved in the project, and everyone can see opportunities or limitations from their particular perspective of the project.

Materials

Plastic

The color of the parts in plastic is normally off white. You also have the option for transparent parts, if you have to evaluate for example a liquid within the part.

Rubber

If you want the prototype in flexible rubber material, you can choose between black and semi-transparent. You also have the possibility to combine plastic and rubber materials, so you thereby get completely new materials, which we call digital materials for prototypes.

Do you have other wishes, please call for an informal chat. Easy2day have the opportunity to offer many other processes linked to 3D models, and we will find an attractive solution for your project. The prototype you will have in your hand within a few days.

For request / price calculations on parts for prototypes, you can send files directly to Easy2day on the contact page.

Features & Print area

Material properties for the print material is very close to the product they will subsequently produce item e.g. ABS, PA, PP or rubber. Under digital materials, you can see the exact material properties.

For all types of materials you can create assembly drawings in one step with small tolerances between the parts. This process avoids harmful remnants of support materials, that could destroy the properties you want tested.

Max. item size in-house is dim. (XYZ) 490x390x200 mm. An alternative for very large part, is to split the part up into several sub-parts then glue the segments together.

PolyJet - (ABS - PP - Gummi)

For choosing the surface detail level of your part, you have to choose between High Speed Normal (HS) or High Quality (HQ) for finer surfaces.

HS is for parts that do not contain small and fine details, as the layer thickness is 0.029mm (29μ). HQ is for minor parts which have small and fine details, as the layer thickness is 0.016mm (16μ).

SLS - (PA)

SLS parts are fabricated in HS and is for parts that do not contain small and fine details as the layer thickness is 0.1mm (100μ)

Mange prototype muligheder

Vacuum part used as a master for new types of packaging.

Delivery time 2-4 days

Silicone mould for PUR casting of many parts, made from a cast of a master 3D printed object. The final object is then fabricated in the desired material (green transparent acrylic in this case).

Delivery time 1-2 weeks

A form is printed to cast silicone parts in the right type of material.

Delivery time 2-4 days

Chrome surface on PolyJet part, about 50 microns thick, gives the correct appearance for its given application.

Delivery time 1-2 weeks
