PROTOTYPING

SERVICES

From idea to form: quickly and reliably

We offer high-quality rapid prototyping services to help designers, startups, and companies bring their ideas to life with speed, precision, and confidence.

We provide direct access to a wide range of advanced technologies, carefully selected for their reliability and performance, and managed entirely from Europe.

Why work with US?

  • A single European contact – from file upload to final delivery

  • Fast and responsive – quotes within 24–48 hours

  • DDP shipping – we handle customs, taxes, and logistics

  • Flexible volumes – from one unit to small batches

  • Transparent pricing in euro – no surprises, no hidden fees

WHAT WE OFFER

Whether you need to test a form, validate a function, or impress stakeholders with a high-fidelity model, we’ll help you choose the best solution for your design and timeline.

CNC Machining

  • Ideal for high-precision functional parts, CNC machining allows us to produce prototypes in metal or plastic with tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes. It's especially suited for mechanical components, enclosures, or when you need fully functional parts that simulate the final product.
    We offer 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling and turning, with a wide range of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, ABS, PC, POM, and more.

3D Printing

  • 3D printing is the fastest and most flexible method to turn your digital model into a physical object. We support multiple technologies to meet different needs:

    • SLA: smooth, high-detail resin parts ideal for visual models

    • SLS: strong, functional nylon parts without support marks

    • MJF: excellent dimensional accuracy and consistency for small series

    • FDM: affordable and quick for early-stage prototyping
      Perfect for concept models, ergonomic tests, or short-run iterative designs.

Sheet Metal Prototyping

  • When your design involves thin-walled metal parts, enclosures, brackets, or mechanical assemblies, sheet metal fabrication is the way to go.
    We use laser cutting, bending, stamping, and welding to deliver precise and fast parts in materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized steel.
    Surface finishes include powder coating, anodizing, brushing, or plating, depending on your needs.

Vacuum Casting

  • Vacuum casting uses silicone molds to replicate parts in urethane resins that simulate the look, feel, and mechanical properties of injection-molded plastics.
    It’s ideal when you need a small series of parts (5–50 units) with high visual quality and functional performance, such as design validation, marketing samples, or pre-series testing.
    Available finishes include transparent, tinted, rubber-like, and overmolding simulations.

Carbon Fiber Prototyping

  • For projects requiring lightweight strength, carbon fiber prototyping offers outstanding performance.
    We can deliver both real carbon fiber laminates and reinforced composite solutions for parts subject to stress or aesthetic demands.
    This process is well suited for sport equipment, automotive components, drone parts, and high-end consumer products.

Frequently asked questions

  • Prototypes are manufactured in collaboration with leading global providers of rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing. SECCI Concept Design is your sole point of contact for the entire process.

  • Yes. SECCI Concept Design handles all client communications from Europe, including:

    • Quotation and technical advice

    • Invoicing in euros

    • Shipping and customs

    • Customer service and warranty

  • For first-time orders, we ask for a 50% deposit at order confirmation and 50% before shipping.
    Custom payment terms (e.g., Net 30) can be negotiated for repeat clients.

  • If you're not satisfied with the delivered part, simply notify us within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a free replacement or rework, pending technical review.

  • We follow ISO 2768-1 standards:

    • Machined metal: F

    • Machined plastic: M

    • Vacuum casting: C
      Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on geometry and material, and must be discussed during quotation.

  • Products are shipped directly to the client, but the process is fully managed by SECCI. We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service across Europe, meaning no customs clearance or additional payments for the client.
