ICP’s Rapid Prototyping Capabilities

We work with a wide variety of plastic and flexible materials to create rapid prototypes.

Rapid Prototypes of Parts to Be Produced From Flexible Materials

Our dieless knife cutting tables give us the capability to produce part prototypes, samples, and pre-productions runs quickly because the design is downloaded directly to the table and no tooling is required. Here’s what that prototyping and quick-turn manufacturing process will look like:

  1. ICP uploads your 3D CAD design directly to the Dieless Knife Cutter
  2. ICP produces a prototype or sample for immediate testing (no tooling required)
  3. You test the prototype
  4. If design adjustments are necessary, ICP produces another prototype
  5. You approve the parts
  6. Production run begins

Rapid Prototypes of Parts to Be Produced by Thermoforming

Do you need to test the design before pulling the trigger on production molds? Talk to ICP about using prototype tooling for a quicker turnaround and lower cost when testing your new project’s design. Coupled with our 5-Axis CNC machines, this process provides a seamless approach for proving out your concept. Check out the prototype process below:

  1. ICP produces a prototype or sample off of prototype tooling
  2. You test the prototype
  3. If design adjustments are necessary, ICP produces another prototype
  4. You approve the parts
  5. Production run begins
