Prototype Manufacturing Guide: Choose the Right Process
Learn how to choose between 3D printing, CNC machining, urethane casting and rapid injection molding based on your validation goals, materials, quantities, tolerances and production requirements.
Maidder FAQs
How do I choose the right prototype manufacturing process?
The best process depends on your validation goal, material requirements, quantity, surface finish, accuracy, and production stage. Our engineers recommend the most suitable option based on your project needs.
Can prototypes use the same materials as final production parts?
Yes. CNC machining and rapid injection molding can use production-grade materials, while urethane casting and 3D printing offer various materials for appearance, fit, and functional testing.
What information do you need to start a prototype project?
We typically need 3D CAD files, drawings, material requirements, quantity, surface finish specifications, testing requirements, and project objectives.
How fast can you manufacture prototypes?
We typically need 3D CAD files, drawings, material requirements, quantity, surface finish specifications, testing requirements, and project objectives.
Can you help optimize my design before prototype manufacturing?
Yes. Our engineering team reviews manufacturability, structure, materials, tolerances, and assembly considerations to reduce design risks before manufacturing.
Do you support prototype-to-production transition?
Yes. Our engineering team reviews manufacturability, structure, materials, tolerances, and assembly considerations to reduce design risks before manufacturing.
