At Mecca, we understand that bringing innovative ideas to life requires speed, precision, and expertise. That’s why we offer top-tier rapid prototyping services to help you turn your concepts into tangible products faster than ever before. Whether you’re a startup looking to launch your first product or an established company seeking to streamline your development process, our rapid prototyping solutions are designed to meet your needs.

What is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to fabricate a physical model, part, or assembly using three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data. Commonly grouped together and known as 3D printing the methods typically used involve the construction of the part or assembly layer by layer, utilizing technologies like laser sintering and digital light projection, to fused deposition modeling.

How does Rapid Prototyping add value?

Adapting rapid prototyping capabilities, such as 3D printing, allows us to quickly create physical models, significantly shortening the time to obtain a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We employ a diverse range of 3D printing technologies, including plastics, metals, and elastomers, enabling us to test and refine concepts in real-time. By rapidly iterating on prototypes, we can identify and address potential issues early, ensuring that our solutions are both innovative and reliable. This practice significantly reduces development time and carries over cost savings to our partners.

Metal 3D Printing

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) uses a fiber laser system that draws onto a surface of atomized metal powder, welding the powder into fully dense metal parts.

Stereolithography (SLA)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

Stereolithography (SLA) uses an ultraviolet laser that draws on the surface of liquid thermoset resin to create thousands of thin layers until final parts are formed.

Carbon DLS

Carbon DLS uses digital light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce plastic parts with excellent mechanical properties and surface finish.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) uses a CO2 laser that fuses nylon-based powder, layer by layer until final thermoplastic parts are built.

PolyJet

PolyJet uses a jetting process where small droplets of liquid photopolymer are sprayed from multiple jets onto a build platform and cured in layers that form elastomeric parts.

Multi Jet Fusion selectively applies fusing and detailing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which are fused in thousands of layers by heating elements into a solid functional component.
