What Are The Different Types Of Rapid Prototyping?

Prototypes vary in fidelity to suit your project’s requirements. Low-fidelity models, made from materials like plastic or wood, offer quick, affordable visuals for initial concept validation and scale assessment, though they lack long-term functionality.

For advanced solutions, Cooka Rapid provides high-fidelity options through:

• 3D Printing: Create intricate geometries for detailed prototypes.

• CNC Machining: Produce precise parts from metal or plastic with tight tolerances.

• Vacuum Casting: Generate multiple high-quality copies efficiently.

• Rapid Tooling: Develop injection-molded prototypes for early production runs.

Our skilled in-house engineers, supported by a network of trusted supplier partners, ensure every prototype meets your exact standards, delivering near-production performance.

The ideal prototyping method hinges on your budget, part complexity, functionality needs, and timeline. High-fidelity prototypes provide superior form, fit, and function but require greater investment and time. Ask yourself:

• Is this a static display or a working prototype?

• Does it involve multiple interconnected components?

• What surface finish and material durability are needed?

• How closely should it align with the final product?

How Does Rapid Prototyping Work?

CNC machining stands out as an excellent method for creating high-fidelity, end-use prototypes from a wide range of raw materials, offering speed, accuracy, and versatility. This technique allows our in-house engineers to make precise adjustments to the cutting program, perfecting your final product with ease. A key advantage is the ability to incorporate tapped and threaded holes, which other methods can’t achieve, making it ideal for engineering testing where full-strength components are essential. Additionally, CNC machining enables the production of small quantities of housings and enclosures without the need for costly plastic injection mold tools, providing a cost-effective solution for early-stage development. However, it’s worth noting that machined parts may have slightly different corner radii compared to injection-molded parts, along with other minor design variations. We recommend consulting our team in advance to ensure the best outcome for your project.

Our polyurethane vacuum casting process allows us to create up to 30 high-fidelity copies from a single master pattern, making it a versatile choice for small-batch plastic prototypes. This method supports a variety of resins, including engineering-grade plastics, and even enables overmolding with multiple materials, offering flexibility for hollow cases and enclosures. Often used as a cost-effective alternative to plastic injection molding, vacuum casting is perfect for low-volume production needs. At Cooka Rapid, our expertise ensures production-quality cast copies with exceptional attention to detail. We also provide a comprehensive suite of finishing services to elevate your parts to showroom quality, ensuring they meet your exact standards. Learn more about how our vacuum casting service can enhance your project by exploring our detailed resources.

Cooka Rapid’s rapid tooling service delivers high-quality plastic injection mold tools in as little as two weeks, making it an ideal solution for prototype cases and enclosures. This approach bridges the gap to production by providing durable tools for initial runs, saving time and resources. Our skilled engineers offer a free design for manufacturing review, tailoring the process to your project’s requirements. Whether you need a quick turnaround for testing or a stepping stone to full production, rapid tooling ensures your prototypes are production-ready with minimal lead time.

Rapid prototyping at Cooka Rapid is a dynamic process that doesn’t rely on a single technology but leverages a range of manufacturing techniques—many of which also apply to regular production volumes. The core value lies in transforming your digital designs into physical models that closely mirror your intended design, offering durability, speed, and minimal investment in tooling or raw materials. Our in-house engineers and supplier partners work together to ensure your prototype is not only a close representation of the final product but also robust enough for testing and presentation, accelerating your development cycle effectively.
