Our engineering team is here to help you decide the most economical way to prototype. We offer three different solutions to suit your plastic prototyping needs.MachiningIf only a few samples are needed to test the fit, form and completed function testing in a material similar to the design material, machining may be the best way to go.Soft Steel ToolsIf molded samples are needed in the specific design material because the molded-in stress could affect the function tests, Powstar can provide prototype or limited quantity molds in a hurry. Actual lead times will vary depending on the complexity of the part design, but we have been able to supply tools in just two to three weeks. With the one-stop-shopping concept, Powstar is able to help with part design, build the tool, run sample parts and provide a fully dimensioned FAI report.SLAs or Urethane MoldsIf you desire one or two parts, quickly and relatively inexpensively, then SLAs are the best solution. Just seeing the part can be helpful and SLA’s are normally available in just a matter of days. If you need somewhere between two and ten pieces, then a urethane mold may be your best choice.
