Rapid Prototyping Services

When speed matters, Sun Industries delivers. Our rapid prototyping service provides fast-turnaround samples for testing, validation and pre-market rollout without compromising quality or precision. In just 3–5 days, we can supply fully formed polyester or graphic overlay prototypes with LED windows, custom cutouts, selective adhesives and die-cut finishes. It’s a smart way to trial designs, refine concepts and keep projects moving.

RAPID PROTOTYPING

Prototype with Purpose

Rapid prototypes help you:

Validate product fit and usability.
Collect stakeholder or customer feedback.
Demo products at events or internal milestones.

We offer two prototype formats depending on your needs. Our production-grade prototypes are fully functional and durable enough for extended use. They’re ideal for engineering validation, user testing, or internal stakeholder demonstrations. For early feedback or display purposes, we also create lower-cost visual mockups that replicate the look of your interface without full functionality.

Processes and Application

Quality and Flexibility

Product development is an ongoing process for manufacturers. Technological innovation and improvements to branding and marketing require an agile approach.

Sun Industries works closely with industrial designers and manufacturers to provide the best solution for short run prototyping. We have a full range of digital, laser and finishing equipment that reduces set up times and improves speed to market.

Quality of product is assured through our partnerships as a 3M Converter together with the use of MacDermid Autotype, Tekra and Lexan polyesters and polycarbonates.

Graphic Design and Physical Appearance

Key Considerations

Fast prototyping is reliant on print ready artwork.
Use .ai or fully vectored PDF’s with “Text Converted to Paths”.
Colour requirements matched to PMS CMYK equivalents.
Not that spot colours may not be reached due to digital print processes.
Give consideration to the environment so both the substrate and adhesive can be specified correctly.
