Concept Modeling
Go from Digital to Physical Part with Concept Modeling from TriMech
TriMech Advanced Manufacturing Services can prove out your concept ideas by printing your 3D design as a one-off finished product in as little as a few hours.
Shifting from the 3D digital world to a physical part will accelerate your product development process and lower your costs. A 3D printed part is more effective at communicating the design, so you can make better decisions faster.
TriMech Service
We 3D Print your Concept Models
- TriMech Advanced Manufacturing Services can easily create models that look and feel like your finished products.
- With Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing we can create parts with fine details, smooth surfaces, rigid housings, soft-touch buttons, lettering, rubber-like seals and even clear components.
- With Stratasys fused deposition modeling (FDM) we can also create robust concept models that can be drilled, sanded or painted.
Offerings
Concept Modeling Examples
Take a look at the type of functional models TriMech can provide you:
Sales & Marketing Models
We can create a physical mock-up of your product for use with a focus group or as a pre–launch model of a new product to help kick start sales. They can see it, hold it and examine it from every angle.
Service Benefits
- Create models before they are manufactured to help sell the idea.
- Use for demonstrations and trade shows or as samples for clients.
- Create different textures on your models.
Ergonomic Study Models
Meet your ergonomic testing needs with a 3D printing model. TriMech Advance Manufacturing Services have multiple materials to choose from, and digital materials offering a wide variety of physical properties.
Service Benefits
- Create rigid and soft feel products.
- Create different textures on your models.
- The ability to create 1:1 scale models for accurate ergonomic studies.
Architectural Design Models
3D printed architectural models provides the opportunity to reduce the number of steps, improving design time, while retaining fine details of the final architecture plan.
Service Benefits
- Create models faster without the labour required with traditional models.
- Create modular parts so that design changes can be easily applied.
- Models are stronger and stable over time, eliminating distortion.
Client Benefits
With TriMech Advanced Manufacturing Services you can go from CAD to Physical Part in a matter of hours
For small firms
Concept modeling lets small design and engineering firms extend their reach by testing out more ideas and developing only the right projects.
For large companies
For large companies, concept modeling within departments — or even in individual cubicles — is a way to hone ideas before presenting them to superiors. 3D printed concept models are valuable communication tools, conveying ideas to colleagues, clients and marketers in a way that a computer model never could.
Production concepts
Stratasys FDM Technology provides affordable, durable concept models in production-grade thermoplastics. Office–friendly FDM 3D Printers turn out small models in hours and large models in days. FDM concept models can be drilled, sanded or painted if desired.
Aesthetic concepts
Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing technology produces the most realistic models of any 3D printing process. You can incorporate multiple materials into one automated build to create models that look and feel like finished products, with fine details, smooth surfaces, rigid housings, soft-touch buttons, lettering, rubberlike seals and even clear components.
