Prototyping

Nothing verifies the integrity of a design like a prototype. Snap fits, fastening methods, and assembly techniques can all be tested with a model. The key is to obtain that prototype as early and as quickly in the design cycle as possible.

At Byrd Technology Group, we combine the tried and true methods of machining with the speed and versatility of rapid prototyping. Together, our professional model shop and our own FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) machine produce accurate and rapid prototype plastic and metal parts. Our milling machines and lathes can add inserts, tap holes and machine features that cannot be produced via FDM.

We provide prototyping as a service separate from our design and analysis service. If you have a part that you would like machined or fused in ABS use the link below to send a .stp or .igs file for a fast quotation. If you are only interested in FDM parts, a .stl file is preferred, but not required.

No need to worry about part size. We are experts at providing features that will interlock assembled parts. We then solvent bond them together for a bond that is stronger than the FDM material itself.
