Rapid Prototyping

Reduce Prototype Iterations From Weeks to Hours

The benefits of using additive manufacturing for prototyping were some of the first to be realized. During that age of Additive 1.0, manufacturers learned that they could skip the lengthy lead times and costly tool changes during initial iterations and accepted it despite its limitations. Additive 2.0 introduced rapid prototyping where manufacturers can use technology like the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printer to reduce the time to prototype to a few hours instead of days and instead of iterating with ABS or PA, they can design with the end-use material.

WHY HIGH SPEED EXTRUSION?

Essentium part

Reduce Time-to-Prototype

Instead of waiting overnight for prototypes to print, iterate through rounds of designs in a single day. 

Essentium part

Access Broad Material Portfolio

Prevent late-stage design changes and use end-use materials to create prototypes that behave and look like the final part. 

Essentium Part

Receive Informed Feedback on Iterations

Gather real-time feedback on prints rather than blind designing on desktop printers.
