Many times it is often necessary to check, test and evaluate a design.  Having a physical model in hand is worth the possibility of finding some undesired features in a design especially in a hand held or consumer device.  While a 3D CAD model eliminates many design issues, a physical model allows the "feel" factor. 

There are many prototyping methods and materials available and Progress takes the time to explore the options with you.  Whether your product is comprised of one or many components we will recommend the best prototyping method that will satisfy your requirements. In most cases a prototype can be made in less than a weeks' time made directly from our 3D solid model.

Some of the rapid prototyping methods for design validation that we offer include:

• Stereolithography
• CNC Machining
• Sheet Metal
• Urethane Castings
