Rapid Prototyping Services
Process Introduction
Rapid prototyping is a process that utilizes technologies such as
3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum molding, and rapid injection
molding to quickly produce product prototypes or functional
components. It helps companies quickly verify designs, test
assembly results, and conduct market testing during the R&D
phase, thereby reducing product development risks and accelerating
time to market.
Process Flow:
- 3D Drawing Received (STEP/STL/IGES)
- Process Selection (3D Printing, CNC Machined Printing, Vacuum
Molding, etc.)
- Prototype Processing and Manufacturing
- Surface Treatment (Painting, Plating, Polishing, Silk Screen
Printing, etc.)
- Dimensional Inspection and Functional Verification
- Finished Product Delivery

FAQ
Q1: Do you support minimum order quantities of one piece?
A1: Yes, we can quickly produce samples.
Q2: Is there a difference between prototypes and production parts?
A2: Prototypes are used for verification, while production parts
require mold creation and large-scale production.
Q3: What is the processing lead time?
A3: Typically 1–7 days, depending on the process and quantity.
Q4: Can you produce functional test parts?
A4: Yes, the materials and process meet functional verification
requirements.
Q5: Are surface treatments available?
A5: We support a variety of treatments, including painting,
electroplating, and polishing.
