Prototyping Services

Engineering Solid Solutions, Inc. (ESS) compliments our engineering and design services with a full range of Rapid and Conventional prototyping technologies. We work with outside partners in helping determine which prototyping method best suits your needs for both cost and timing. ESS has all the capability to meet your functional requirements for your next program. 

Integrated with our build capabilities, ESS is able to integrate design, prototype, and build under one roof at our Product Development Center.

CMM & Inspection Services

Quality is our number one priority. Our fully staffed and equipped quality control room, complete with manual and Direct Computer Controlled (DCC) Coordinate Measuring Machine, gives us the ability to inspect, analyze and compare results directly to CAD data which enables us to meet not only our own high standards, but also those of our customers. This supports our commitment to total quality and continuous improvement.

Injection Molds (Aluminum & Steel)

 
We have the ability to produce plastic prototype parts in house utilizing injection mold machines up to 500 ton with 75 oz. shot capacity. Our expertise includes a variety of molds and part builds, including insert molding. We can run virtually any thermoplastic, in any color, with or without grain.

Rapid Prototyping

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a process which creates three dimensional objects, layer by layer, from powder materials. The powder is sintered by heat generated from a CO2 laser within a precisely controlled process chamber. A variety of materials to choose from, as well as part functionality, make the SLS technology the premier rapid prototyping technique. Currently we have a 2500 DTM Sinterstation and a 2000 DTM Sinterstation.

Silicon Molds

Rapid prototyping produces sample parts with full geometry, production intent material considerations and functionality, 60-75% faster than traditional methods. Silicone molds and cast urethane parts allow us to replicate injection molded parts quickly, in a cost effective manner.
