Rapid prototyping creates full-sized models
of physical parts with three-dimensional
Computer Aided Design (CAD).

The original additive manufacturing
process, SLA uses an ultraviolet laser to
trace patterns, layer by layer, in a vat of
liquid ultraviolet resin to cure and harden.

Accurate and fast, SLA is still commonly
used for low volume production.

Selective Laser Sintering, or SLS, employs a
laser to melt plastic powder into 3D
models.

Stronger and more stable than SLA, SLS is
not as accurate as FDM or SLA components.

Fused Deposition
Modeling layers plastic
material down by
extruding melted
material through a
nozzle, controlling the
flow of material as it’s
extruded.

Those layers begin to harden immediately
after being extruded.

Highly accurate, FDM can utilize the same
materials that will be used for finished
parts, creating prototypes up to 80% as
strong as finished injection molded parts
will be.

Early Supplier Involvement ensures product
designer and manufacturer are well
informed on all factors of a new design.

This reduces the risk of design errors and the
potential for delays.

PROTOTYPE
Design iterations happen
FAST, decreasing overall
development time
Designs can be tested
prior to manufacturing
Using FDM, prototypes
can be produced that
are as strong as finished
products

Rapid prototyping leads to better products
with shorter development time, saving
valuable resources and avoiding costly
delays in production.
It provides benefits to product designer,
manufacturer, and end user.
