IN-HOUSE RAPID PROTOTYPING
We use 3D printing and CNC machining throughout our development process to help evaluate and refine your product to deliver the best possible design outcome.
Our in-house 3D printing and CNC machining services provide quick turnaround on parts, allowing 3D printed or CNC machined development prototypes to be created to test design ideas quickly and cost effectively, often within hours.
PROOF OF CONCEPT & PRESENTATION PROTOTYPES
Proof of concept prototypes allow the principles and basic functionality of a design to be evaluated before further work is carried out. This helps to prove that certain ideas, features and mechanisms will work correctly.
As the design is refined, we create presentation grade prototypes using prototyping techniques such as CNC machining and Vacuum Casting to give a top-quality representation of the final functionality, materials and appearance of your product.
RANGE OF PROTOTYPING
SERVICES
Our prototyping services include 3D Printing, SLS/SLA, CNC machining & Vacuum Casting. We can assist with textile prototyping such as bags & carriers, technical garments, or textile components as part of a larger product assembly.
In addition, we can create prototype aluminium production tooling should your requirements call for larger order volumes that are achievable with rapid prototyping techniques
FAQs
What Is Prototyping? Prototyping is the process of creating a preliminary model of a product based on your initial concept. This can then be tested and adjusted before moving into manufacturing. Why Is Prototyping Important? Prototyping allows you to test your product idea and ensure it works as expected. It can also help you identify potential problems early on in the process. This is especially important when working with electronics and DFM, as these areas can be complex and require a high level of precision. What Are The Different Types Of Prototypes? There are many different types of prototypes, including: Sketches and mockups: These are simple, low-fidelity prototypes that can be used to explore different design ideas. 3D printed models: These prototypes can be used to test the form and fit of a product. Functional prototypes: These prototypes are fully functional and can be used to test the performance of a product. How Much Does Prototyping Cost? The cost of prototyping varies depending on the complexity of the product and the type of prototype you need. What Are The Benefits Of Working With A Prototyping Company Like Duku? Working with a prototyping company can save you time and money. A prototyping company can help you choose the right type of prototype for your needs and can also provide you with expert advice on the design and development process.
