Prototyping - Dimension Works

3D printed prototypes allow design and engineering teams to provide expedited design, proofs-of-concept, and models built to scale. 3D printing enables iterative design with the added benefits of real-time feedback and concept testing capabilities.

3D prototypes offer many advantages, including the ability to print and test multiple iterations while saving time and money with faster processes.

A few examples of 3D prototyping applications:

Form, fit, and function testing
New product samples
Presentation models

Form, Fit, and Function Testing

Check size, shape, and proportion, until your design is perfected. Eliminate any potential production bottlenecks or design flaws, while testing with functional materials.

Best Solutions:

Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle and Ultimaker Tough PLA

Rapid Design Iterations

Enable multiple daily design iterations with an ultrafast material that can be printed at speeds of up to 8 liters per hour.

Best Solutions:

Nexa3D NXE400 and Nexa xPRO410

Functional Material Testing

Test your design for fit and functionality. Materials from EnvisionTEC-validated materials deliver high performance properties

Best Solutions:

ETEC EnvisionOne CDLM and Loctite E-3843

Dimensional Accuracy

Replicate injection molding part tolerances as you complete functional testing.

Best Solutions:

XYZPrinting MfgPro230 and XYZPrinting xPro12W

Large Format Prototyping

Validate size, fit, and functionality of large format parts with a build volume starting at 1000 x 1000 x 500mm.

Our 3DP printer from Dimension Works has been a game-changer. Being able to 3D print curved prototype tooling in strong materials has made operators’ work much easier, freeing up resources, and increasing overall productivity. Using our printer to test and prove designs with a functional prototype, while saving time and money, is a win.
