Advanced Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping is an approach to product development enabling the creation and refinement of product components for assessment and testing. Partnering with HaoFeng for your rapid prototyping ensures optimal decision-making for your design. Our services offer a comprehensive selection of materials and finishes, empowering you to make informed choices about advancing your project. We provide a variety of rapid prototyping techniques to cater to your needs.

Fast Sheet Metal Manufacturing
We specialize in swift fabrication of sheet metal. Our range includes stainless steel, copper, and aluminum, among other metals and alloys, for your prototyping needs. Additionally, we can fabricate multiple metal prototype designs concurrently, enhancing efficiency and versatility.
Quick 3D Printing
This is the prevalent approach for rapid prototyping. It eliminates the need for tooling, making it cost-effective and ensuring a quick turnaround. At HaoFeng, we utilize various 3D printing techniques such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), and stereolithography (SLA) to guarantee your prototype boasts high precision and impeccable finishing.
Swift Vacuum Casting

We provide fast vacuum casting services for producing cost-effective plastic parts. This rapid prototyping method shares similarities with injection molding, yet its tooling is less durable, making it suitable for low-volume production runs.
Fast CNC Machining

Our state-of-the-art 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC machining capabilities enable precise cutting of your product parts, ensuring smooth rapid prototyping with maximum part production efficiency.
Fast Injection Molding

Our rapid injection molding process results in an identical set of durable parts for testing and multiple backups. This process has a longer lead time, but it is usually worth it, especially for a product with strict material and mechanical requirements.

Categories of Rapid Prototyping

The rapid prototyping process is extensive, covering various materials, technologies, and industries. It includes four distinct types of rapid prototypes.

Concept Model

This prototype is among the most straightforward types. It is also known as a proof-of-concept prototype, which engineers use to illustrate the fundamental idea of the design. Prior to implementation, this prototype goes through numerous iterations.

Display Prototype

Engineers create this prototype to resemble the final product closely. In display prototypes, functionality is often secondary to aesthetics, as the main emphasis is on appearance.

Functional Prototype

This prototype prioritizes functionality and is designed to allow engineers and designers to test the product for any necessary modifications to optimize its functionality. The goal of this prototype is to perform similarly to the final product.

Pre-Production Prototype

This is the final prototype developed prior to production. It serves two primary purposes. Firstly, to validate the manufacturing process chosen for mass production by the manufacturer. Secondly, to ensure optimal functionality of the manufactured part.
