Rapid Prototyping

Because It’s Never ‘Just’ a Prototype

Prototypes are essential in every step of the product development process. Whether it is to verify your design with a model that matches the real thing, or to perform form, fit and function tests, you’ll want prototypes that meet your requirements.

Rapid Prototyping allows designers and engineers to execute fast and frequent revisions of their designs. Thanks to a variety of available technologies and materials, in plastics as well as metals, 3D-printed prototypes work for both visual and functional testing.

Rapid Prototyping Services

Are you looking for a professional prototyping service to help actualize your ideas and assist with product development? You’ve come to the right place. Yiannopoulos provides excellent quality, quick turnaround and cost-effective rapid prototyping services to customers across the world. Equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technology, advanced industrial-grade equipment and an expert team of engineers, Yiannopoulos enables you to bring your idea from design to the market in just a few days. We also provide on-demand manufacturing services using processes like 3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum casting, plastic injection molding and much more.

Whether you are a designer, engineer, industrial design agency, or a startup technology company, Yiannopoulos is the perfect fit for your prototyping needs. We also offer our customers the ability to effectively and regularly outsource prototyping services to China. Send your 3D design files to our international technical sales team for a free project review, or request a free quote on our website. We assure you that by outsourcing your prototyping and manufacturing projects to Yiannopoulos, your experience will be superior to other Chinese and global manufacturing services. We’re excited to start working with you! If you have finished prototyping and ready to move forward to next step. Please review our low volume manufacturing service.

Additive Manufacturing
SLA and SLS are two form of 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology that can be used to create plastic models, functional prototypes, patterns, and use-end production parts.

CNC Prototyping
CNC machining is an ideal for manufacturing high-quality, on-demand plastic or metal prototypes parts. With this technique, your parts will have tighter tolerances with better surface finishes than with other prototyping methods.

Vacuum Casting
Vacuum Casting is an ideal rapid prototyping technique for the production of low-volume and functional plastic parts or first-run production of plastic parts. Yiannopoulos will provide a shortcut for those who are not ready to invest in expensive and time-consuming mold tooling.

Rapid Tooling
Prototyping with injection molding provides a flexible and reliable option for low-volume production runs or functional prototyping. The injection molded parts can be used for full functional and fit testing, as well as for various marketing purposes.

Sheet Metal Prototyping
Stamping, bending, spinning. punching, cutting & welding standard gauge metal for making one-off prototype or few prototypes for initial testing. Yiannopoulos custom sheet metal prototyping services offer a fast and cost-effective solution for your projects.

Metal Casting Prototyping
Aside from low volume aluminum die casting, zinc die casting and magnesium die casting, we are offering investment casting for prototyping. We developed relationships with a handful of medium-size casting partners who can meet our quality requirements.

Rapid Prototyping Advantages

Whether you are an engineer, industrial design, or part of a product development team, rapid prototyping can offer you distinct advantages such as:

The ability to explore and realize concepts in a quick and cost-effective manner. Quick turnaround times and low costs allow teams to move far beyond the visualization of an idea, making it easier to grasp the properties and design of a product in the physical world.
Reiterate designs and incorporate changes that allow for improved evaluation and functional testing of the product. This iterative process provides a roadmap to developing and refining the final product before taking it to the market, ensuring that your design is optimized and foolproof.
The ability to physically showcase concepts concisely and effectively. Rapid prototyping takes ideas, images and concepts from an idea or two-dimensional visual into hands-on products that clients, colleagues and collaborators can hold in their hands and see in action.
The ability to thoroughly test and refine a concept. Being able to minimize design flaws with a small-volume rapid prototype run helps eliminate costly design flaws that might not be evident during an early assessment.
By using a rapid prototyping service, you can save time and money by eliminating the need for setup and tooling. Since Yiannopoulos can use the same equipment to produce various prototypes with different properties and materials, the overall costs and turnaround time are kept to a minimum.

Rapid Prototyping Materials

The type of rigid materials available when using the CNC Machining process are virtually unlimited. We can source whatever materials your design requires. Some of the most common materials we utilize are:

Plastics: ABS, Polypropylene, PMMA ( like Plexiglas® acrylic), PC (polycarbonate, Lexan®), Nylon, POM (Delrin® acetal), and more. Check out the prototyping properties of plastics. Contact us about other possibilities.

Metals: Aluminum, Low-Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper, and more. Check out the prototyping properties of metal. Contact us about other possibilities.
