What Is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is your fast-track to transform ideas into tangible parts for testing and validation. Instead of waiting weeks for traditional methods, you can receive functional prototypes in just a few days through CNC machining, 3D printing, or rapid molding. This approach allows you to quickly verify dimensions, evaluate assembly fit, and test performance under real conditions.

With TiRapid’s advanced equipment and over 120 material options, you gain the flexibility to refine your design, explore different surface finishes, and iterate faster. By reducing time and cost while minimizing production risks, rapid prototyping empowers you to move from concept to mass manufacturing with confidence.

Which Rapid Prototyping Process Fits Your Needs?

When time-to-market and reliability are critical, CNC machining outperforms other rapid prototyping methods. Instead of fragile mock-ups, CNC prototypes deliver real, functional parts made from production-grade metals and plastics. This means engineers can test fit, function, and durability with confidence—cutting design risks and accelerating the path to mass production. With TiRapid’s advanced multi-axis machining, you’ll receive precision parts in just days, ensuring faster validation and smoother scale-up.

Our Rapid Prototyping Capabilities

Precision CNC-machined aluminum prototype part for lighting applications, featuring fine surface finishing and complex geometry.

CNC Machining Prototypes

Unlike 3D printing, CNC prototypes are cut from solid metal or plastic, providing real mechanical strength and superior surface quality. With advanced multi-axis machining centers, TiRapid minimizes setups, reduces lead times, and delivers prototypes with unmatched precision and stability.

3D Printing Prototypes

3D printing is the fastest and most affordable rapid prototyping option. We offer SLA, SLS, MJF, and FDM technologies: SLA for cosmetic and clear parts; SLS/MJF for strong nylon functional parts; FDM for large or cost-effective prototypes. Some parts can ship in as little as one day, with optional finishing such as sanding, painting, or dyeing for production-like appearance.

Sheet Metal Prototyping

Rapid sheet metal fabrication is ideal for brackets, housings, and structural parts that require testing in real metals such as aluminum 5052, stainless steel, or cold-rolled steel. Using laser cutting, bending, and welding, we deliver durable prototypes with finishing options like powder coating or anodizing. Lead times are typically one week, making it cost-effective for small-batch builds and validation.

Rapid Injection Molding

Rapid injection molding provides durable plastic parts for high-fidelity testing. Using aluminum tooling, we deliver small-batch samples in 2–3 weeks, with material options including ABS, PC, nylon, and POM. These prototypes replicate production-grade appearance and performance, making them ideal for bridge tooling and product launches.

FAQs About Rapid Prototyping Services

How much does it cost to make a prototype?

The price of a prototype can vary widely. A simple 3D-printed model may cost around $100–$300, while precision CNC or multi-process prototypes could range from $500 to $10,000+, depending on complexity, materials, and surface finish requirements.

Our service covers the entire workflow: design for manufacturability (DFM) review, CNC machining, 3D printing, vacuum casting, finishing, and quality inspection. We support 120+ materials and 60+ surface finishes, ensuring prototypes meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

EN: Most prototype orders are completed within 3–7 days. For urgent projects, we can deliver in as fast as 1–2 days, depending on material availability and part complexity.

Rapid prototyping is ideal for startups, R&D teams, engineers, and manufacturers who need to test and refine designs quickly. It reduces the risks and costs of product development before mass production.

We use multiple technologies including CNC machining, 3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM), vacuum casting, and sheet metal fabrication. This flexibility ensures the best process is chosen for each project’s needs.

EN: Not always. Some prototypes only need to demonstrate functionality. But for parts requiring appearance validation or customer presentation, we offer finishes like painting, anodizing, polishing, sandblasting, and electroplating.

We can handle both. With CNC machines that support parts up to 3000 mm, and 3D printers for small intricate details, we cover a wide range of part sizes—from tiny precision components to large structural prototypes.
