3D Printed Overmold parts from rubber like material

Vista Technologies LLC™ creates rapid prototyping models for testing fit, form and function, using additive fabrication (3D printing). Technologies used include: Polyjet and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA). Typically, these models are back in your hands in one to three days. Rapid prototyping adds value in the product development stages for packaging, marketing, focus groups and engineering. The use of these technologies allows design iterations to be made quickly and inexpensively, guaranteeing companies the best product possible, in the shortest possible time frame.

The benefits of rapid prototyping models are clear:

  • You save money. Using rapid prototyping services will greatly reduce design iteration, production and tooling costs. Having a tangible model or physical prototype available for quotes also greatly improves a quote's accuracy.

  • You save time. You can turn an idea into a plastic prototype part in days with rapid prototyping. What previously took months now takes only days, so that finding errors, making design improvements and analyzing the end product is possible while you speed your product to market.

  • You can test your product. Use rapid prototypes in focus groups, compare with other parts for compatibility and conduct performance tests efficiently and quickly using rapid prototyping.

  • You can catch errors earlier. Save thousands of dollars by discovering costly errors before the product goes into production with the help of a quality prototype.

  • You improve product design. The efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a prototype allows you to create an inexpensive tangible model for design evaluation, as well as form, fit and function studies.

  • It helps you sell the product. Add impact to a proposal with a tangible, physical model. Rapid prototypes also allow your sales team to pitch new products before they're manufactured.

  • You can do a short run. With rapid tooling, you can manufacture short-run injection-molded parts to fit your low-volume needs. With high-speed milling, the rapid tools are accurate, fast and cost effective. These tools can produce several thousand parts.

  • We have also become the experts in creating 3D models for the Gaming and Entertainment industries. With the wide variety of technologies in house, we can create and simulate CGI characters, action figures, landscapes and anything else you can design.

What is the difference between Rapid Prototyping and 3D Printing?

Technically, quite a bit. But how the term is used, they are virtually the same. 3D Printing is slowly becoming a generic term for additive manufacturing technologies such as: Polyjet, SLA, FDM, SLS, ZCorp, etc. 3D Printing is generally used in context for 1-off models, for art, gaming or architechure modeling.
