Prototyping and Small-Lot Resin Molding with 3D Printing
At Taiyo Wire Cloth, we offer prototyping and small-lot resin molding services utilizing 3D printers. In addition to having in-house 3D printing equipment, our development team is capable of designing and creating 3D models, allowing us to respond flexibly to customer requirements.
During new product development, shape verification and fitting checks are often necessary. However, injection molding and machining can involve significant costs for molds and processing, which are often not practical for small-lot production. In such cases, 3D printing is a highly effective solution. With 3D printing, molding lead times are significantly shorter — for small parts, production can typically be completed within just a few hours to one day.
This dramatically accelerates prototyping and shortens overall development timelines.
In recent years, we have also seen increasing demand for small-lot resin products, not just prototypes. When high strength or precision is not strictly required, 3D printing has become an efficient means for both production and delivery. We mainly offer materials such as ABS and PLA and can provide recommendations based on your specific application and needs.
If you are considering prototyping, or if you have a small-volume production need, please feel free to consult with Taiyo Wire Cloth. We provide comprehensive support — from design and 3D modeling to printing and delivery. We would be pleased to help bring your ideas to life. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
