The Ultimate Guide to Functional Prototyping with 3D Printing

Your prototype shouldn’t be just a model but a fully functional replica of your final part or product, ready to undergo rigorous testing.

It’s Time to Redefine Functional Prototyping

3D printing is completely changing the game for functional prototyping.
Imagine being able to create prototypes that aren’t just detailed but also can handle anything you throw at them. 
Take your ideas and turn them into something you can actually see, touch and test – and do it faster, better and smarter than ever before. 3D printing is redefining prototyping in all industries - from consumer goods to automotive, with fast development of parts and models with complex geometries. Your functional prototypes do more than embody a concept; they serve as fully functioning models that communicate your ideas, enable user and ergonomics trials, and physical and mechanical testing. With industry-leading additive manufacturing solutions and an extensive range of materials tailored to specific functional demands you can create anything. 
With 3D printing, your prototypes aren’t just an impression of the final product – they are exact replicas, capable of withstanding real-world trials and propelling innovation forward.

Why Use 3D Printing for your Functional Prototypes?

If you’re using CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, or hand sculpting for your functional prototypes, you’ve probably become used to long build times, high costs, wasted material and slow progress – and all to end up with a part that doesn’t look or feel like the final thing. But it doesn’t have to be like this. When you move from traditional prototyping methods to 3D printing, you benefit from rapid testing, correction, and improvement of designs at a fraction of your usual cost and time.
