Rapid prototyping

Rapid prototyping offers high-precision, high-strength 3D (plastic) prototypes to be quickly and affordably produced for testing and even low-volume production use. Next to physical objects rapid prototyping can be produced using digital tools such as Flash, Autodesk or other design software.

Description

How many times do you want the product you saw in a store, at somebody's home or company but just a bit different? You would like it in a different material, ten centimeters taller or smaller etc. 3D scanners, 3D printers, milling machines and laser cutting systems make it possible to develop and produce just one copy of a product exactly the way you envision it.

We like to help you translating your ideas into single copy prototypes to find investors or mass producers of your product.

Besides rapid prototyping of real products, Sotopia concepts offers digital rapid prototyping using Flash (lite) and Autodesk technology. Your ideas will be converted into working demos your customers can try and test.

Purpose

The purpose is to translate specific ideas and concepts into working prototypes or real physical samples. This will help you to find investors and manufacturers. Secondly, you will be able to test your product or concept with potential customers. Do they like it? Is it user friendly? Important questions to be answered before investing a lot of money in a production process.

Benefits

Results within three weeks. Inexpensive (digital) model making to convince investors, improve the communication with manufacturers and test your future product with clients. Low investment.
