Functional Prototype Development & Fabrication

With rapid prototyping and iteration playing such a crucial role in our own development process, we understand the importance of accurate, repeatable prototypes. With the latest technology and the same level of care we give to our own projects, we take the guesswork out of having your prototypes fabricated.

Specialties

  • Critical Dimension and Function Verification

  • Post Processing and Finishing

  • Functional Prototyping

  • Part Optimization

Design For Prototyping

More than just a print shop, Kickstart Design takes functional prototype development to a new level. Aiming to provide our clients with prototypes that look, feel, and work how you intended them to, we help develop your design for easy and reliable prototyping. We provide in-house printing services, as well as, design recommendations for a variety of prototyping methods. We also provide finishing services that give your prototype the same surface finishes you expect from the final product.
