Color models offer several advantages over the drab beige common to rapid prototypes. Parts are easily distinguishable in an assembly and can match the solid model. Analysis results can be mapped onto a model allowing quick visual verification and decrease the likelihood of a critical area being overlooked. Consumer products can be modeled as they would appear on shelves allowing aesthetics to be judged, not just shape. Terrain maps, massing studies, and a host of other applications, will now be able to be modeled more realistically.

Rapid prototyping at Criteria Systems is the fastest and most cost effective way to fabricate parts models and artwork. When you choose Criteria Systems for your rapid prototyping needs you are choosing the best in the business. We use state-of-the art color 3D printing technology to produce accurate and affordable prototypes. We can work with most common 3D file formats, or, if you need, generate the 3D files for you.

We can convert most file formats including: See our File Export Recommendations page for instructions on providing us with files which will work well with our system.

You can use our Online Quoting System for fast and easy quoting for most parts, or contact us if you have special requirements or projects larger than our bed size of 14" x 10" x 8" (355 x 254 x 203 mm).

Color Your Ideas

With color protoypes, painting is eliminated and repeatability is assured. With our process the color is integral to the model, so your design intent will carry through to the prototype.

For color prototypes, Criteria Systems requires the following file formats:

• OBJ
• VMRL
• Rhino (3DM)
• We can also work with separate 3D files and texture files. Contact us for more information and to discuss your prototyping requirements.

If you need a large prototype, prop, POS display or other large prototype, Criteria Systems can help. And, if CNC machining is the best solution, we can do that too. Call us today to get started on your next large prototype.
