Rapid Prototyping Materials

Rapid prototyping services accelerate the product development process and design iterations. These services enable the creation of high-fidelity prototypes for testing and evaluation. 

Plastics

Commonly used plastics include ABS, PLA, and Nylon. These materials offer versatility in flexibility, strength, and ease of printing. They are suitable for functional prototypes and visual models. 

Metals

Metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium are used for prototypes requiring high strength and durability. Metal prototyping supports more rigorous testing and real-world applications, making it ideal for components subjected to stress. 

Composites

Composite materials, like carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, combine lightweight properties with high strength. These materials provide enhanced performance in demanding applications, making them suitable for the aerospace and automotive industries. 

Resins

Various resins, including standard, tough, and flexible options, are utilized in 3D printing processes like stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP). Resins allow for high-detail prototypes and are often used for intricate designs that require smooth finishes. 

Ceramics

Ceramic materials are employed for prototypes with high heat resistance and chemical stability. They are ideal for applications in industries such as electronics and aerospace, where thermal properties are critical. 

Elastomers

Flexible materials like TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) are used to create prototypes that require stretch and flexibility. Elastomers are particularly useful for parts like seals, gaskets, and soft-touch features. 

Effectively Managing Costs in Prototype Development

The expenses incurred from multiple prototype iterations can pose significant challenges for customers. Each modification typically requires additional resources, including materials and labor, which can accumulate quickly. When rapid adjustments are necessary to resolve design flaws or functionality issues, these costs can escalate beyond initial project budgets. 

Frigate addresses this concern by implementing efficient prototyping processes that minimize waste and optimize resource use. Advanced technologies and streamlined workflows help reduce costs associated with iterative prototyping, allowing for effective design validation without compromising financial constraints.
