In-House Prototyping & 3D Printing

Turn a design into a physical part quickly.

Sands Works provides in-house 3D printing, functional prototyping, and light machining and fabrication to support product development, replacement parts, fixtures, and low-volume component needs.

Parts can be produced directly from customer-supplied CAD files or designed as part of an engineering project. Keeping prototype manufacturing in-house allows designs to be quickly evaluated, modified, and tested before committing to production tooling or outside manufacturing.

3D Printing

In-house FDM printing is available for functional prototypes, brackets, housings, fixtures, replacement parts, and small production quantities.

Material selection is typically based on the operating environment and functional requirements of the part. Call for 

Functional Prototyping

Sands Works can design, print, assemble, and evaluate prototypes for fit, function, installation, and manufacturability. Designs can then be revised based on physical testing before moving toward production.

Light Machining & Fabrication

In-house capabilities also include light machining, welding, forming, drilling, tapping, cutting, trimming, prototype assembly, part modification, and small fabrication work.

Specialized manufacturing processes or larger production quantities can be coordinated with outside manufacturing partners when required.

Design → Prototype → Test → Revise → Production-Ready Design
