Some of the other Prototyping services we offer include
2D to 3D CAD Conversion Service
Your initial concept can be presented to us, in strict confidence, as a fully detailed and dimensioned 2D drawing or a rough free-hand sketch, or even a conceptual idea!
AG Prototypes can assist the design and development process by either using this 2D data to manufacture a realistic and accurate model, implementing traditional modelmaking skills, or converting the drawings into a 3D computer model.
Read MoreSilicone Tooling Service
To produce exact copies of the original prototype, we will create silicone or ‘soft’ tooling to be used in our vacuum casting machines.
This is beneficial when small or large quantities are required, in specific colours, surface finishes and when the material properties are important.
Read MoreVacuum Casting Service
When the 3D computer model is transfered into a STL file, the prototype can then be built using Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA).
Vacuum casting can save clients a great deal of time during the product development process and could prevent costly production tooling.
SLA Prototypes (Stereolithography) Service
When the 3D computer model is transfered into a STL file, the prototype can then be built using Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA).
This process uses laser technology to actively cure a photo-sensitive polymer resin in fine layers to form the desired shape.
