3DPrintingtx's rapid prototyping services in Texas for 3D printing (additive manufacturing) include the following 3D printing technologies:

With a wide range of material and finishing options, our 3D printing rapid prototype services are suitable for 3D printed plastics and metals. These additive manufacturing methods can also be employed in the creation of goods.

Since 3D printing eliminates the need for tooling, prototyping 3D printed items take only a few minutes while maintaining high build quality. Geometrical freedom and cost, particularly in low volumes, are also advantages.

Although 3D printing is frequently used for ideas, precision technologies like SLM can be used for functional prototypes and even production parts.

• FDM: Prototyping of low-cost plastic parts
• SLA: Prototyping of plastic objects with a high level of surface polish.
• SLS: Strong nylon or nylon glass prototyping parts
• SLM: Steel or titanium prototyping of metal part

Rapid prototyping services in Texas include the usage of rapid tooling, which is also known as bridge tooling or prototype tooling and is the rapid CNC machining of metal injection molding tooling. As a result, it's the first step toward quick injection molding.

When a customer needs between 100 to 2,000 injection molded parts, prototyping tooling is ideal; if they need more than that, production-level steel tooling may be recommended.

Rapid tooling has several advantages, including quick turnaround times and the ability to prototype and test injection molded parts that would normally take months to make. Rapid tooling is likewise far less expensive than mass-produced tooling.
