Concept Models & Evaluations – With lead times as
little as 24 hours, you can quickly simulate products during
all phases of the design process for visual evaluation
of features, aesthetics and functionality. Concept
models help to determine ergonomics and performance
that can’t always been assessed in a CAD drawing.

Engineering Evaluation – Rugged nylon and thermoplastic
materials make for easy verification of fit and design. Physical
parts help engineers confirm CAD design and prevent future
problems missed on screen. Solid Concepts rigorously
inspects each product allowing for accurate testing.

Presentation Models – Finishing is often the difference in
a successful model. Our highly experienced finishers use
proprietary methods to accurately assemble and create
the finest presentation models, while our painters are
experienced and equipped with high-end equipment.
We have 11 technologies and over 50 rapid prototyping
machines, making it easy to get a display model.

Marketing Evaluation – Test groups, market introductions,
sales and overall aesthetics can benefit from fast turn
parts that simulate and look like the end product.
Pre-production studies allow necessary changes to
be implemented midstream, ultimately allowing the
best product possible to be released to market.

Low Volume Production Parts
Market Introductions – A product’s success is pivotal on
how quickly you can get to market. Solid Concepts’ cast
urethane, SLS, FDM and composites technologies can
be used as a bridge to tooling and molding or can be
used as market introductions for new design iterations.
•SLS•FDM•CNC•QUANTUMCAST•COMPOSITES
Limited Production Runs – Cast Urethanes and Composites
are ideal for situations when the limited number of parts desired
doesn’t justify the cost of hard tooling. Limited production runs
are frequently used for projects requiring a small number of
parts or when a low volume needs to be produced quickly.

Production Parts
Production Parts – When it’s time to bring your product
into production, Solid Concepts has a tooling and
molding division to fill all your short-run to high-volume
production needs. Capabilities include manufacturing,
injection molding, assembly and packaging.

Investment Casting Patterns - Next Generation QuickCast
Investment Casting Patterns are offered only by Solid
Concepts. QuickCast patterns are accurate, strong, fully
drained, completely sealed and 10-35% lighter than
traditional patterns, assuring optimum casting yield.
