Rapid Prototyping Development and Testing

As part of an integrated design process Optima can provide prototypes to validate both function and form, which are often crucial in a robust product development cycle.

The benefits of CAD driven rapid prototyping techniques are manyfold, for instance:- reduced development time, safer, leaner and more visually sophisticated final products, the availability of functional prototypes for testing, and the availability of convincing appearance prototypes, for promotional activity and marketing.

Optima have established relationships with several key suppliers ensuring the lowest cost and the most appropriate method of prototyping for your needs.

We can offer a wide range of processes including:-

SLA ( Stereolithography)
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Vacuum Casting
Soft Tooling
Thermojet Wax Models
CNC and Traditional Machining
RIM (Reaction Injection Moulding)
Appearance model building and finishing
Prototype and Rig Building

Please feel free to contact us at Optima to discuss your prototyping requirements or to discuss how the most appropriate rapid technology can be integrated into your product design regime. info@optima-design.co.uk
