Detailed Description
3D printed product prototype housings are used to evaluate the appearance, dimensions and assembly performance of new products before injection molding or final manufacturing.
Typical parts include electronic enclosures, handheld device shells, equipment covers, control housings and consumer product cases.
SLA printing provides smooth cosmetic surfaces for appearance models, while SLS and MJF are suitable for functional housings requiring better durability. Features such as screw bosses, snap fits, ventilation openings and internal mounting structures can be integrated directly into the prototype design.
These prototypes allow engineers to verify product ergonomics, component placement and assembly compatibility before committing to expensive production tooling.
Available Surface Finishes
- Sanding: Removes layer marks and improves appearance.
- Painting: Creates production-like color finishes.
- Polishing: Provides smooth cosmetic surfaces.
- Texture Treatment: Simulates injection molded textures.
- Coating: Adds additional surface protection.
Structural & Functional Breakdown
- Snap-Fit Features: Supports assembly testing without fasteners.
- Internal Mounting Bosses: Validates component installation.
- Ventilation Structures: Tests thermal design concepts.
- Thin Wall Sections: Evaluates product weight and appearance.
- Complex External Surfaces: Supports industrial design verification.
Key Features
- Fast Housing Development: Produces complete product shells directly from CAD files.
- Appearance Validation: Supports realistic evaluation of product design.
- Assembly Testing: Verifies component fit and mechanical interfaces.
- Multiple Material Simulation: Resin and nylon options support different requirements.
- Custom Surface Finishing: Creates near-production appearance.
- Ideal for Product Iteration: Reduces redesign risks before tooling.
