Why do we prototype?
Generally, prototypes are created to test the final product in a format that is easily visualized and tactile. Doing so allows us to showcase our idea to potential customers or investors, allowing them to visualize the product through your eyes. It can also help us to determine how and with whom we are going to produce the finished part, as well as to reveal any flaws in our original design that we might have missed. It also allows us to provide a sample to others who maybe dependent on our design to create accessories or other items that the end consumer might find useful. Finally, depending on how sophisticated the prototype is, it allows us to test the end-product in everyday use and to ascertain how and why it will be used and the price point that it should be sold at. Being a prototype also makes it easy and relatively cheap to fix any design flaws prior to commencement of manufacture when a lot of wasted time, product and money have gone into the final product.
How long does it take to make a rapid prototyping part?
Depending on the size, process, and amount of finishing required, it can take as little as five minutes or as long as three or four days. However, most parts can be made within 24 hours.
Why should I choose plastic injection molding(PIM)?
Plastic injection molding is one of the most convenient and cost-effective options for producing large numbers of parts.
This ensures that the product does not require any further work after production.
What if I need to make changes to the part after ordering?
Change requests will require modifications to the tool that will affect costs. The exact cost of the change request will be calculated after the T1 sample is completed.
Can I produce part with my own materials?
Yes, materials provided by the customer are possible as long as they meet the performance of our machines. Let us know the details of the materials before you send them to us.
How do we handle quality specifications?
Quality specifications depending on the customer’s needs are usually agreed upon at the time of ordering. NICE Rapid has advanced equipment such as CMM, PloyMax Gun, Oxford OES, Oxford XFR Analyzer and more to control the quality of our customers’ parts.
How to transfer large files?
