Precision Is the Name of the Game

Prototyping is all about trial and error. Even when guided by research and industry regulation, the more you can test blue-sky ideas or make nuanced changes, the more you can innovate. Our precision laser cutting makes high-fidelity prototype iteration faster and more economical than ever before.

We can rapidly create several working prototypes of your product to test materials, ergonomics, aesthetics, and other factors. Between laser cutting and our other manufacturing methods, we can prototype the most complex designs you can think of.

From Childcare to Medical Care, We’ll Get It Done

Great designs balance functionality and aesthetics, but finding that balance while creating something truly innovative is always a highwire act. We’ve used rapid laser-cut prototyping to take our clients’ ideas from napkin sketches to market-ready products.

How We Use Laser Cutting for Rapid Prototyping

Our goal is to make prototyping as quick, easy, and valuable as possible. Here’s a quick overview of our process.

Timeframe: Laser cutting a design can be done in hours. Depending on the complexity of the design, assembling the prototype can take a week or two.

Benefits:

  • High precision and accuracy
  • Reduced material waste
  • Fast turnaround times

Ideal if:

  • You need a prototype with intricate designs
  • You require a cost-effective prototyping solution
  • You want to speed up your product development process

1

Research

We begin by understanding your product design requirements and identifying the best materials for your prototype.

2

Design

Our team of experts will create detailed design plans to ensure your prototype meets all specifications.

3

Prototyping

Using advanced laser cutting technology, we create a working, testable prototype.

4

Refining

We review the prototype and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it meets your requirements.

5

Launch

Once the prototype is finalised, we’ll assist you in preparing for production and market launch.

FAQs

What materials can be cut with a laser cutter?

Laser cutting can handle a diverse range of materials, including metals like stainless steel, aluminium, and copper, as well as plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS. It is also effective for cutting non-metallic materials like wood, paper, and certain fabrics, and it can be used on composite materials and some types of rubber.

How accurate is laser cutting?

Laser cutting can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.1 mm, making it ideal for detailed and precise designs.

 

Can laser cutting be combined with other prototyping processes?

Yes, laser cutting can be integrated with other processes like CNC machining, 3D printing, and traditional fabrication methods.
