Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing
Validate designs in days, not weeks. Go from CAD to physical prototype with industrial 3D printing — no tooling, no minimum order.
Faigh LuachanThe Cost of Slow Iteration
Traditional prototyping with CNC machining or soft tooling takes weeks and costs hundreds to thousands of euros per iteration. Design flaws discovered late in development multiply costs and delay product launches. Engineering teams need a faster feedback loop to stay competitive.
3D Printed Prototypes in 24–72 Hours
Upload your STL or STEP file and receive a physical prototype within 1–3 business days. With no setup costs and per-part pricing, you can iterate freely — test fit, form, and basic function without committing to expensive tooling. Our multi-technology platform lets you choose the right balance of speed, detail, and material properties for each iteration cycle.

Why 3D Print Your Prototypes
Speed to First Part
Receive physical prototypes in 24–72 hours instead of the 2–4 weeks typical of CNC or injection mold sampling.
Low Iteration Cost
No tooling charges mean you can revise and reprint as many times as needed without budget penalties.
Design Freedom
Internal channels, lattice structures, and organic forms that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to machine.
Multi-Material Evaluation
Test different materials on the same geometry to compare stiffness, heat resistance, or surface finish before committing to production.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get a rapid prototype?
Most prototypes ship within 1–3 business days after order confirmation. Simple geometries in PLA or resin can be ready in 24 hours.
What file formats do you accept?
We accept STL, STEP, 3MF, and OBJ files. For best results, export meshes with a chord tolerance under 0.02 mm.
How much does a rapid prototype cost?
Pricing depends on volume, material, and technology. Upload your file for an instant quote — most small parts cost between 5 and 50 EUR.
Can I prototype in the same material I plan to use in production?
Yes. With engineering-grade nylon, PC-CF, PA-GF, and SLS PA12, your prototype can match or closely approximate production material properties.
Is rapid prototyping suitable for mechanical testing?
For visual and fit checks, any technology works. For mechanical load testing, we recommend FDM with nylon or PC-CF, or SLS with PA12.
