Make Your Idea Reality.
Material knowledge, engineering, design, and product manufacturing integrated into one service offering helps you move quickly through your innovation and commercialization process. Whether you have just the beginnings of an idea, need to re-engineer an existing product, or duplicate a commercial part, we can help.
Industrial Design- CAD
MPI’s Computer Aided Design (CAD) services offer the first step towards making your idea a reality. Closely integrated with our laser scanning and 3D printing services, MPI uses various CAD packages (Pro-Engineer, SolidWorks, Inventor) to create CAD files to support any point of the product process, whether you’re just generating an idea or duplicating an existing piece.
With over 23 years of CAD experience, MPI helps your idea become a reality through the creation of custom 3D part files for your prototype, which can then be used for development, prints or patent applications.
INTEGRATED FEATURES / BENEFITS
-
Open Source software
-
fusion 360
-
One Stop Solution: We have seamless integration of CAD file creation, laser scanning, inspection, and prototyping to help you move quickly through your product process.
-
Laser Scanning: MPI can create a 3D file by scanning an existing part.
-
Part Inspection: MPI can compare 3D CAD designs against a 3D scan file.
3D Printing
3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping / Additive Manufacturing is one of the most rapidly changing markets of today. MPI’s workhorse 3D printer is the Objet 350 Connex printer, a reliable and flexible medium format UV-cure system technology, that gives you the freedom to realize your full design intent. MPI helps to get your product faster, especially when your design has multiple, integrated materials with complex size, resolution, and product development.
