3D Printed Prototypes and Functional Samples
Before a design goes into series production, it pays to hold it in your hand. A functional prototype reveals collisions, wrong dimensions and awkward handling before the mistake is cut into expensive tooling.
Calculate the prototype priceWhen a prototype is worth it
A prototype makes sense whenever a mistake is cheaper on the desk than on the production line.
- The design exists only in CAD and nobody has verified that the parts actually fit together.
- An injection mould is on the table and a late change would be expensive.
- You need a sample to show someone - a customer, an investor or the production team.
How it works with us
-
1
Upload the model. The calculator shows the price straight away; for more demanding jobs we send a quotation within 24 hours.
-
2
We recommend a material based on what the prototype has to survive - a shape check and a load test call for different choices.
-
3
We print to an accuracy of 0.1 to 0.3 mm depending on the chosen layer height.
-
4
We dispatch within five working days and deliver to Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and Austria.
What customers try out most often
Shape model
An unloaded part used to judge proportions, ergonomics and appearance. It prints quickly because it does not have to withstand anything.
Functional sample
A prototype that is genuinely used - it is tested for strength and behaviour under load.
Fit-check assembly
Several parts that are meant to fit together. A printed assembly exposes collisions nobody spots on screen.
Prototype printing: frequently asked questions
How quickly will the prototype be ready?
We dispatch within five working days of order confirmation. Jobs that need a manual review get a quotation within 24 hours.
Which material suits a prototype?
It depends on what the prototype has to prove. A basic material is enough for shape and proportions; load testing calls for something tougher. We offer seven materials and will recommend the one that matches the purpose.
How accurate will the prototype be?
Print accuracy ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 mm depending on the chosen layer height. A finer layer means more detail and a longer print.
