DMLS Prototyping: Precision Metal 3D Printing

  When designing a metal part or product, it's important that the prototype closely resembles the final product. And fortunately, thanks to 3D printing technologies like direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), creating a metal prototype doesn't have to be a costly or time-consuming process anymore. At HLH Prototypes, we offer DMLS prototyping that delivers fully functional components from production-grade materials. It’s a quick and cost-effective solution that can realize complex geometries and details, which would either be expensive or impossible to manufacture with traditional processes. In this blog, we will share how DMLS is changing the game in making metal prototypes. Let’s explore the applications of DMLS prototypes and how they add value to your project. How it works DMLS prototyping uses the industrial 3D printing technology called direct metal laser sintering to build a part from powdered metals one layer at a time. The process is similar to selective laser s...

From Concept to Production: How Rapid Injection Molding Accelerates the Product Life Cycle

  Bringing your product to market shouldn't be a slow and costly process. Rapid injection molding — a service we offer here at HLH Prototypes — can help you accelerate your time to market. This solution allows you to quickly and cost-effectively transform your concepts into tangible realities. It's a valuable tool for product designers, engineers, and innovators who need to stay ahead of the curve. A game-changing technology Rapid injection molding offers a faster way to manufacture prototypes and end-use parts within a shorter timeline. It’s quicker because it uses a pre-designed mold made from aluminum or steel, depending on your production volume. For low-volume production, we recommend steel molds due to their proven ability to outlast aluminum molds. Rapid prototyping makes injection molding a more efficient and cost-effective way to create tangible models of your designs. By speeding up the process, you can quickly iterate and refine your ideas, reducing the time a...
