Accelerating Robotics Innovation

When a design engineer from a robotics company specializing in custom engine mounts approached us at 3DP MFG, they needed a partner who could bring their ideas to life — fast. In the fast-paced world of product development, speed isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. They were under pressure to test fitment for 12 unique components with one clear goal: make rapid design iterations to keep the project moving.

They needed parts by the next day, and we knew that our FDM print farm could deliver. From the very start, we became their rapid prototyping ally, allowing them to push forward without the wait times that traditional manufacturing would require. We collaborated closely, working around the clock to produce each component accurately and quickly. And because they needed to make design modifications on the fly, our ability to immediately print their updated models meant they weren’t stalled by any production lags.

In just five days, they finished the first phase of prototyping. Twelve complex parts went from concept to reality and were refined through each iteration. With that phase completed, they’re now moving forward confidently into the next development stages — and we’re ready for the next call.

This story shows the power of having a reliable prototyping partner in those critical early stages. At 3DP MFG, we’re here to make sure our clients’ ideas can become tangible products, one quick iteration at a time.
