Key Statistics

The value of faster physical verification

Resin based prototype moulding can help development teams test earlier, compare more design alternatives and reduce the risk of discovering critical issues too late in the process

Up to 85% faster

To first testable moulded part

Up to 75% lower development cost

By reducing early tooling investment and enabling faster iteration

3 times as many concepts evaluated

Within the same development window

Figures are based on documented project assumptions and may vary depending on part geometry, material selection, tooling complexity, quantity and project scope

The Problem

Earlier learning through practical verifications

N/A

In early product development, key questions often remain unresolved. Geometry, interfaces, assembly principles and material behaviour may still be under evaluation, while important design decisions still need to be made.

Relying only on CAD, simulations or standard 3D printed prototypes can leave teams with uncertainty around how the part will behave when it is moulded in a relevant material.

The Prototype Lab helps development teams test physical alternatives earlier and build real development knowledge before design lock.

Wil the selected material behave as expected?

Will the part fit correctly in the assmply?

Can the geometry be moulded without critical issues?

Are there tolerances, flash, air, sink mark or warpage risks?

The Bridge

The Bridge between 3D printing and production tooling

N/A

3D printing is often the right choice for early concept model, but it does not always answer the questions that matter before steel tooling decisions are made.

Rapid prototype moulding bridges the gap between printed prototypes and full production tools.

By using resin based injection moulds, development teams can test moulded parts in relevant materials earlier in the proces.

This allows earlier validation of design, material behaviour and functional interfaces, reducing the risk before investing in production tooling.

What we can learn

What the Prototype Lab helps projects leaders verify

Rapid injection moulded parts in relevant materials give you the answers 3D printed parts and simulations cannot.

Design risk

Verify geometry, features and critical interfaces before tooling investment

Material behaviour

Test parts in relevant materials to understand performance, fit and functionality

Assembly fit

Evaluate how parts interact with components, inserts, seals and housings

Mouldability

Identify filling challenges, air, flash, sink marks, warpage and tolerance risks earlier

Iteration speed

Compare design alternatives and make changes before the design is locked

Tooling decisions

Use physical learnings to choose the right route
