Fast and affordable prototypes

Our innovative 3D Printing solutions are ideal for:

  • Electronic Prototypes
  • Projects of any size
  • Single or Full-Color

LM3 3D printing solutions provides you with fast and affordable prototypes for concept development and testing--ideal for the early stages of product development. This technology allows you to explore various concepts before committing to the costs associated with launching a full production.

Laser Modeling’s Rapid Prototyping Process:

  • Provide us with an STL or Step file and we will begin processing your prototype for production
  • Our in-house experts will evaluate your file and make recommendations for how to best produce your prototype
  • We print using today’s most advanced 3D printing technology
  • Once your prototype has been printed, we will handle post process finishing, like adding texture or roughness, removing support members, sandblasting, and painting
  • Laser Modeling 3 will assemble your order before it is shipped out.

What benefits can you expect from LM3’s rapid prototypes?

  • Our durable plastic parts are tough enough for functional testing and snap-fit applications
  • Reduction in the length of time from the product design to production
  • Reduction or elimination of costly soft tooling, allowing for design changes to be implemented on the fly
  • Identify costly tooling flaws before a substantial investment is made
  • Allows you to test product colors, surfaces and textures, like grip patterns or reflective surfaces
  • The development process is fast (most 3D models can be produced within 7/10 days)
  • With a wide variety of robust, thermally stable material options Laser Modeling 3 can generate models that are tough enough to be used as working parts.
  • Master patterns and molds can be fabricated as short term or disposable tools in low-volume production.
