In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, navigating from concept to mass production can be a complex and daunting journey. At PLITEK®, we specialize in transforming these challenges into opportunities for success. Quickly test form, fit, and function of your product design with PLITEK®’s rapid prototyping services. With over 50 years of experience, our expert team of engineers help validate designs and refine concepts efficiently, ensuring a seamless transition to volume production.
PLITEK® offers rapid prototyping services that enable us to create production quality parts for your designs. Additionally, the turnaround is quick without the requirement of production tooling or set up. We employ rapid prototyping, the fast fabrication of a component, part, or assembly using 3D computer aided design (CAD). Our prototype development services include evaluating material options and optimizing part designs prior to production. It also reduces design risk by providing proof-of-concept samples, verifying part geometry, and supporting clinical trials and submissions.
Furthermore, our ability to quickly manufacture prototypes is the first step in our efficient service model. Our prototyping capabilities allow for the quick cutting of parts, offering unparalleled speed to market. In order to streamline efficiency, we oftentimes combine processes together to utilize the best of our various methods based upon the material and process requirements. PLITEK®’s prototyping services enable swift iterations and refinements to finalize part design prior to production.
