Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is the fast fabrication of a physical part, model, or assembly using 3D CAD data. Our service offers quick-turn prototypes using advanced manufacturing methods like 3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum casting, and sheet metal forming—tailored to a wide variety of materials.
Materials We Support
We prototype in a range of engineering-grade materials, including:
- Plastics: ABS, PLA, PETG, Nylon, Polycarbonate, TPU, PEEK
- Metals: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Brass, Copper
- Elastomers & Rubber: Silicone, EPDM, Polyurethane, Neoprene
- Composites & Resins: Carbon Fiber-reinforced plastics, epoxy resins
- Wood, Foams, and Specialty Materials upon request
Services
3D printing
Our 3D printing rapid prototyping services are ideal for 3D printed plastics and metals, with extensive material and finishing options available. These additive manufacturing technologies can also sometimes be used for production.
CNC machining
Caliylark operates a large number of CNC machining centers, mills, and lathes (for CNC turning), enabling rapid prototyping of CNC machined parts made from plastic or metal. We offer a wide range of material and finishing options and the potential to combine CNC machining with other rapid prototyping processes.
Vacuum casting
Rapid vacuum casting is a low-cost prototyping service for the production of low-cost plastic parts, particularly items like colorful display models.
Tooling
Rapid tooling (bridge tooling or prototype tooling) refers to the rapid CNC machining of metal tooling for injection molding. It is therefore the first step toward rapid injection molding.
Sheet metal prototyping
Rapid sheet metal prototyping is a set of rapid prototyping services for the production of sheet metal parts. This includes various forming, cutting, and assembly processes for manipulating the sheet metal stock in different ways.
Metal casting
Casting is generally considered a production process for high-quality metal parts, but rapid metal casting — using 3D printing to make low-cost patterns — offers an affordable route for prototyping cast metal.
