Metro Rapid Prototyping & Stereolithography
;)
Metro Rapid Prototyping has been in the rapid prototyping industry from its beginning. Choosing to work with us, you have effectively added experienced prototyping engineers to your team. Metro focuses heavily on support and communication rather than just building a prototype from whatever CAD data we receive. Using this approach, Metro Rapid Prototyping has helped numerous companies succeed at getting the more out of their prototyping dollar.
Our customers benefit from over 50 years of combined internal experience. We have what it takes to help you complete your project on time.
Stereolithography (SLA) is one of the most accurate and practical ways to produce a physical model of your part to verify fit, form, and function as well as for design verification and rib and fillet features. An SLA prototype can save time and money by discovering costly mistakes before going to production tooling as well as for getting customer approvals. Your tooling engineers can use the rapid prototype model to help them decide on parting lines, ejector pins, and gate locations. More About Stereolithography >>
Urethane castings take this one step further and give you a functional and more durable rapid prototype model that simulates production material. Casting can also offer an economical advantage when several pieces of the same part are needed. Metro Rapid Prototyping also has the ability to insert mold, over-mold, and match paint color and texture specifications. More About Urethane Castings >>

Our capabilities give Metro Rapid Prototyping the opportunity to make small and large SL prototype models and urethane castings. Our high quality rapid prototypes allow the customer to use these for photo shoots, trade shows, design verification, and customer approval. Quickcast prototype models can be used for investment casting master patterns. More About Rapid Prototyping >>
