How in-house 3D Printing safely accelerates Product Development
In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, the ability to rapidly iterate on designs while maintaining strict confidentiality isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity. At our R&D Department, we’ve transformed how we approach product development by integrating Formlabs 3D printing technology directly into our prototyping workflow.
Why in-house prototyping changes everything
When developing proprietary components or innovative solutions, sending designs to external manufacturing partners introduces risk. Every handoff creates potential vulnerabilities—intellectual property exposure, data security concerns and communication delays that slow progress.
By bringing advanced 3D printing capabilities in-house, we’ve eliminated these bottlenecks entirely. Our Formlabs ecosystem enables us to take projects from initial concept to functional prototype without ever leaving our facility. This approach delivers three critical benefits:
- Absolute confidentiality for sensitive designs
- Accelerated iteration cycles that compress development timelines
- Direct quality control at every stage of prototyping
Advanced technology meets precision
Our workflow transforms precision CAD models into functional prototypes using complementary printing technologies. We achieve exceptional surface quality and dimensional accuracy for detailed components, while also producing robust parts with excellent mechanical properties for real-world testing. Our extensive material library—from heat-resistant to flexible and impact-resistant options—allows us to match material performance precisely to your application requirements.
Traditional prototyping workflows typically require weeks of lead time, our in-house capability compresses this dramatically. Complex geometries can be printed overnight and design modifications can be implemented and re-printed within hours. Multiple design iterations can occur in the time a single traditional prototype would take.
