Custom Rapid Prototyping Services for Precision and Performance
Frigate offers custom rapid prototyping services using advanced CNC machining and 3D printing. Each prototype achieves exacting tolerances for precise fit, finish, and functionality. The process starts with detailed CAD models, transforming designs into high-accuracy physical models. High-strength materials ensure durability, making prototypes suitable for functional testing. Multistage inspections verify accuracy at each phase, meeting strict dimensional standards. Rapid iteration cycles allow quick adjustments and modifications, refining the prototype for optimal performance.
Improving Surface Finish Quality
Utilizing specialized finishing processes ensures smooth surfaces, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Employing high-precision CNC machining and 3D printing technologies minimizes surface imperfections and achieves desired finishes.
Implementing rigorous quality control measures throughout production guarantees uniformity in surface quality across all prototypes.
Enhancing Scalability for Design Evolution
Offering a range of prototyping methods allows for easy adaptation as design specifications change.
Integrating prototyping and manufacturing processes streamlines scaling efforts, reducing time and complexity during the transition.
Encouraging ongoing communication during the prototyping phase enables quick adjustments, ensuring the final product meets evolving requirements.
Reducing Long Lead Times for Prototyping
Streamlining production workflows improves efficiency and significantly reduces lead times for prototype delivery.
Leveraging advanced CNC machining and 3D printing technologies allows quicker turnaround times without sacrificing quality.
Assigning dedicated project managers ensures timely updates and accountability throughout the prototyping process, facilitating faster completion.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
