Metal Parts |
| To
improve the speed of metal part fabrication, RapidPro Manufacturing's
product development team utilizes the SLS Laser
Form technology. This process works directly from
a CAD file and fine layers of LaserForm ST-100 stainless
steel powder are deposited, layer by layer, and
the SLS process sinters (heats and bonds) each layer
into a part or tool. Upon completion of final curing
process, the part becomes a fully dense metal part
with characteristics of steel. Through this technology,
RapidPro Manufacturing can provide clients one to several hundred metal
prototype and production parts. |

Metal Part Benefits |
- Fast,
durable metal parts produced without casting,
machining or tooling
- High
thermal conductivity
- Characteristics
similar to steel
- Great
for complex features and geometry

| Precision
CNC Machining And Fabrication |
| Rapidpro provides
a wide array of machining and fabrication services
for jigs, fixtures, gages, dies, and general
precision machining. We have both CNC mills and CNC
lathes that can easy hold tolerances of 0.001 of an
inch. We can machine plastic and metal parts to
produce functional prototypes, models, and patterns.
Other machining services include electrical
discharge machining (EDM), engraving, and more.

Castings |
 |
| We utilize
several casting technologies to fabricate parts in a
variety of metals for prototype and production parts
without the expense of hard tooling. Our SLA prototyping
process is utilized to fabricate mold master patterns.
Casting methods include sand casting (loose pattern), and
plaster casting (a.k.a. simulated die cast). Casting
metals include Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium, Stainless Steel,
and Carbon Steel. |
