Melet Plastics Inc.

Prototyping

Once the product design has been established, Melet offers rapid prototyping services for final validation. Using SLA or SLS technologies, 3D computer models can be transformed into functional prototype parts within 1-2 days. For limited quantity pilot runs, cast urethane prototypes which simulate the look and feel of injection molded components are also available.

Why rapid prototyping?

• Prototypes allow the design team to test for functionality and ensure design and fit is correct.
• The prototypes can be used for sales meetings, customer presentations, and tradeshows
• Overall time-to-market can be reduced since accuracy in design assures a streamlined project timeline

SLS technology

• Fully functional using nylon material for superior strength
• Quick turnaround from CAD model to final piece
• Can produce several variations of a design at the same time
• Suitable for drill/tap, snap fits, assembly, springs, and living hinges
