3D prototyping in Kraków
Before investing in a larger production run, a physical prototype helps validate dimensions, ergonomics, hole placement and assembly. Printed models make design problems easier to spot than on screen alone.
Why make a prototype?
Test a component's fit, grip, mounting features and clearance for electronics or hardware. A prototype is a design check, not automatic proof of the final product's performance.
A practical process
- Send a model and explain its purpose.
- Identify key dimensions and mating surfaces.
- Select a material and print settings appropriate to the test.
- Check the printed part and provide feedback.
- Agree separately on any additional iteration.
Materials
PLA can be useful for visual and dimensional checks, PETG for many functional prototypes and TPU for flexible parts. The right choice depends on the test.
