Form and Fit Models

Pre-production Measurement Testing

Online Instant Quoting and Build System

Form and Fit models are designed to accurately reflect the physical dimensions of the design. They are typically used to physically verify that the proposed design can be assembled with the other components. Accurate Form and Fit models allow engineers to verify the design for initial assembly, as well as for disassembly and maintenance. Use of Form and Fit models early in the product development process reduces the possibility of collision problems and it gives other organizations, such as Field Service and Manufacturing, an opportunity to provide valuable feedback while it is still cost-effective to make design changes.

Form and Fit models are ideal for ergonomic analysis of handheld electronic devices, medical equipment and computer input devices.

Solid Concepts produces Form and Fit models using PolyJet, SLA, SLS, CNC, FDM and Cast Urethane technologies, depending on the specific requirements. Form and Fit models can be produced in as little as 2 to 5 working days.

Use Form and Fit models to:
  • Verify the fit of complex designs and assemblies
  • Facilitate input from other organizations, such as Manufacturing and Field Service
  • Perform packaging studies
  • Conduct ergonomic analysis
  • See-through prototypes and fit check models for harness routing in complex electric assemblies

Hybrid SLA-SLS Form and Fit Model

Hybrid SLA-SLS Form and Fit Model

  • SolidView
    SolidView® software allows you to view, rotate, measure and communicate design intent with non-CAD users—starting with our free 3D CAD viewer—SolidView/Lite.
  • Prototypes
    PolyJet™ & SLA® provide accurate concept models and master patterns in record time. Complete in-house finishing capability for production-like prototypes.
  • SLS & DMLS
    SLS® produces rugged Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 prototype and production parts. DMLS utilizes metal and alloy materials to create strong metal parts without tooling.
  • FDM
    FDM (fused deposition modeling) produces both prototype and production parts from ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and Ultem materials.
  • CNC
    CNC prototypes, parts and master patterns are ideal in applications where the material property or size requirements make other prototyping techniques unsuitable.
  • Cast Urethane
    Cast Urethane (a proprietary advanced casting technology and advanced formula polymers) produce strong pre-production and short-run production components.
  • Composites
    Composites (fiber reinforced plastic) technology produces large, rigid, accurate panels with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and surface finish.
  • Tooling
    Tooling from Solid Concepts provides quick-turn tooling options for Chinese tooling & production, export tooling from China, and domestic tooling, all with domestic project management.
  • Molding
    Molding from Solid Concepts brings you the best of both worlds by providing Chinese pricing and lead times along with Solid Concepts quality and domestic project management.
