Prototyping
Testing form, fit and function has never been easier.
Our 3D printing capabilities are a great tool to test your design before committing tooling.
The Form Manufacturing prototyping stage utilizes two industry-trusted Stratasys 3D printers: the Objet500 Connex3 and FORTUS 250mc.
Stratasys Objet500 Connex3
Proven PolyJet 3D Printing is famous for smooth surfaces, fine precision and diverse material properties. It works a bit like inkjet document printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, the print head jets microscopic layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly cures them with UV light. The fine layers build up to create a prototype or production part. The build envelope for this machine is 19” x 15” x 8”
Stratasys FORTUS 250mc
The FORTUS 250mc is a classic FDM 3D printer. With FDM the filament is first heated and then deposited, through the nozzle, onto a build platform in a layer-by-layer process to form the complete object. The build envelope for this machine is: 10” x 10” x 12”
With 20 years of injection-molded device, component, and packaging experience, Form Manufacturing offers the expertise, processes, and resources to provide money-saving efficiency and high-quality products from prototype to delivery.
Through prototyping and other processes, we can present our customers with a testable prototype prior to production which helps save hassle and money down the road.
