Services

You are developing a new product for your company. Although you may already have a design, drawings or even CAD data in your project, you know by experience that there are still many obstacles ahead of you before the product can be produced and launched into the market:

  • Design verification and optimization
  • Identification and elimination of errors
  • Functional testing
  • Efficient communication with project partners
  • Evaluation of market acceptance
  • Documentation
  • Quotations for production, packaging
  • etc.

For all these steps, little time is available since "time to market" is not just a slogan in your company but a vital challenge imposed by the global competition.

What can PROFORM do for you in this development phase?

3D CAD, Reverse Engineering

  • Creating 3D data from 2D drawings
  • Digitize existing objects
  • Reverse Engineering

Functional Prototypes

Rapid creation of complex prototypes in epoxy resins, thermoplastics materials or wax with stereolithography, FDM, selective laser sintering (SLS) or 3D Printing.

High resolution techniques for small parts.

Small series of vacuum cast models

Creation of silicon moulds from precise Stereolithography master pattern and production of prototypes in Polyurethane or Polyurea casting resins.

Materials ranging from soft and elastic to hard and temperature resistant.

Colourable according to RAL, NCS, Pantone

 

Metal parts

Rapid production of single prototypes or small series in various alloys from a Stereolithography or wax model by means of Quick Cast, investment casting or sand casting.

Injection moulding (Rapid Tooling)
in collaboration with Leutwyler rapid tooling

Production of tools from precise Stereolithography models with a special Epoxy tooling resin.

Manufacturing of small series in production materials such as PE, PP, ABS, PA, PC, PMMA, ...

Specialties, Research & Development

Along with the rigorous evaluation and introduction of general technical innovations, PROFORM focuses on the development of application oriented technologies. Technology strategies are a blend of internal initiatives and collaborations with other companies and research institutes. Examples are found in data processing methodology, small spot technology and Microstereolithography, as well as techniques to mould highly complex parts.

Delivery time and prices

PROFORM combines leading edge technologies to deliver in optimal timescale at competitive economics. Based on STL or IGS files, drawings or your specification of part dimensions, wall thickness and volume along with your delivery need we will submit our quotation mostly within one working day. Turnover times depend on the part size and complexity. Typical turnover times are 1-4 working days for solid creation techniques, 2-5 working days for the manufacturing of initial casting models, 1-3 weeks for metal parts and 2-3 weeks for injection-moulded parts (Rapid Tooling).
