Precision 3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping for Product Development

iDEAL Technology has been a leader in rapid prototyping for more than 20 years. We use this experience to develop technology and services that help create the best and most accurate 3D printed prototypes in the industry.

Our customers demand affordable, quality, on-time prototypes and iDEAL is exceeding these expectations every day.

When a larger quantity of prototype parts is required, we can 3D print a master model and create a Silicone Mold. The mold is then injected with various cast urethane materials which are formulated to simulate production intent properties.

The process usually takes about 7-10 days to complete the tooling and up to 50 parts can be cast from the mold.
