Rapid Prototyping
Whatever your prototyping or low volume production requirement, IMIRP can provide a viable, fast, cost effective solution.
If you have just an idea that needs developing, we can provide a full design through to finished, working prototype service from our experienced team of design engineers.
If you already know what you want, or just need a little guidance, IMIRP offers you a full in-house rapid prototyping service, including:
- Design consultancy and CAD translation
- SLA models and master patterns
- SLS models
- Vacuum cast polyurethane parts
- RIM cast parts
- Cast wax patterns and metal components
- Silicone rubber and polyurethane foam parts
- Vacuum forming
- CNC machined parts
- 3D Scanning and modelling
Low Volume Production
Although the techniques of rapid prototyping are well suited to producing one off or small pre-production quantities, they can also be adapted to be able to satisfy much larger volume requirements.
SLS builds can accommodate hundreds of parts, particularly if they are comparatively small, thereby avoiding the need for any form of tooling.
RIM casting in polyurethane can produce many hundreds, if not thousands of parts from relatively low cost tooling. This can be extremely useful where the required volumes do not warrant injection moulding, or the parts are literally too big to produce that way.
