Rapid Prototyping
High-speed quality production of prototypes
Rapid prototyping allows you to transform digitalized 3D models into their exact physical counterparts in the shortest possible time. With our highly accurate production capability, it is ideal for studying design elements, product testing, or building one-off custom pieces.
3D Print Shop specializes in rapid prototyping using a diversity of techniques that cater to a range of on-demand manufacturing needs. A key advantage of using rapid prototyping is the shortened lead time, with some prototypes ready in as little as 48 hours.
Our machines are capable of printing models to the smallest detail using a range of high-quality plastic and metal materials. Our team of experts use a variety of on-demand manufacturing processes to meet your needs, including stereolithography (SLA), 3D selective laser sintering (SLS), and 3D ColorJet Printing (CJP) for a full-color production.
Designers and engineers can rely on our 3D printing and prototyping services throughout their product development, from concept proving to functional testing and quick design iterations. Functional prototypes allow design teams to fully engage with their product to test fit and form, a crucial step in any design development process.
3D Print Shop gives you access to rapid prototyping right from your home or office. Use our secure online platform to get a quote and place your order. We’ll confirm your order and deliver your prototype in the shortest possible time.

Stereolithography
Delivers highly accurate parts with smooth finishes. Popular 3D printing process capable of printing complex shapes and detailed parts. Create small or large models up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) in high resolution, free from distortions.
Selective Laser Sintering
Ideal for quick delivery of prototypes without additional tooling. Allows for accurate production in a range of high-quality materials. Create high-quality prototypes and parts with complex geometries.
ColorJet Printing
Fast and cost-effective 3D printing technique ideal for full-color concept models. Produce parts with complex geometries and accurate models with high-quality finishes. Surface can be further smoothened with a clear coating.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Advanced direct metal printing process without the need for additional tooling. Perfect for the fine production of metal parts where traditional methods are not an option. High-quality 3D printing of objects.
Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM is cost-effective and ideal for the quick production of low-volume prototypes used for testing fit, form, and function. Produce parts direct from CAD using high-grade thermoplastic materials.
