Sculpteo was the partner we needed for producing Tundra, being able to 3D print parts made it possible to create a customizable drone. Our partnership with Sculpteo was an essential part in the creation of this machine.

3D printing gives us the ability to get our parts quickly, compared to other manufacturing techniques. We can also manufacture complex parts with a finished appearance, which could not be machined. We have been working with Sculpteo since 2014 and the quality keeps improving. Our contacts with the team are regular in order to find the best compromises regarding our needs.

At the small scale of the cargo projects we run, 3D printing is the only economical production method for the geometries we need. Using Sculpteo’s service allows us to produce a much more professional quality product than we could achieve in-house, at a much lower time investment.

We are always looking for performance for our robots, and this fundamentally involves reducing the weight of the various fittings linked to the robots such as their grippers. 3D printing is a solution for us to combine performance, rigidity and mass of these assemblies. We have been working with Sculpteo for 4 years, the quality of the prints has always been very satisfactory and the proximity of our account manager allows us to save time and improve our performance in the realization of our projects.

3D printing is an opportunity to easily reproduce the structure of a robot. More and more robots are being produced thanks to 3D printing. Additive manufacturing is a long-term trend for the robotic market, just as it is for aeronautic and automobile businesses

Stop wasting time, start your rapid prototyping process now

Prototypes are an essential step of your product development. Before a more costly step of production, you need to evaluate the design and functionality of your product. A good rapid prototyping technique is just what you need! Rapid prototyping allows engineers and designers to manufacture and test their products faster, and iterate as much as needed. Either to create a scale model of a physical part to validate the shape or its visual aspect, to try out an assembly, or to build functional parts and test them, rapid prototyping will help you achieve your goals in time. Some game-changing technologies such as additive manufacturing are out there, allowing you to create your concept models and functional prototypes with a great surface finish.

Additive manufacturing can boost your company, not only thanks to rapid prototyping. Discover how you could benefit from a more scalable, flexible, and resilient manufacturing process for both prototyping and production.

3D printing prototypes

3D printing prototypes: what are the advantages? Discover how 3D printing can help you develop advanced prototypes thanks to a large variety of materials.

What are the advantages of rapid prototyping?

Rapid prototyping reduces design and time development, which obviously leads to a reduction of the product development cost. This is also offering more room for iteration and testing. Rapid prototyping has a beneficial impact on your overall manufacturing process. 

    Is rapid prototyping the same as 3D printing?

    Rapid prototyping is allowed by manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing. Rapid prototyping is the technique to create a prototype model from a 3D model. We can say that additive manufacturing is the process, and rapid prototyping is the end result.

    Where is rapid prototyping used?

    Rapid prototyping can be used by everyone, and by every kind of industry. Moreover, rapid prototyping can be used at any stage of the product development cycle for any product.
