How much do CAD Design Services Cost?

The price of 3D modeling services can vary greatly depending on complexity. For very simple shapes it could be only a few hundred dollars. For complex shapes it could be $1000+. Complex products containing many parts can cost $1000-$10,000 or more to create all of the 3D models.

What is needed to get started on a prototype?

All that is needed to get started is a simple sketch, image, or description of the product idea. The more information provided the more efficient the process will be. As the design progresses updates and revisions can be made.

How long does it take to design a product?

The time it takes to develop a new product depends on many factors. For a very simple product, the 3D CAD files can be created in only a few hours, with a turnaround time of only a day or two. For complex products, the time to create the CAD files and then produce and test the prototypes can vary from weeks to years.

Can 3D Prints and Molds be created from the models and drawings supplied?

Yes, the 3D files will be supplied in common 3D formats suitable for 3D printing or creating plastic molds. 3D prints are a fast and affordable way to test your prototypes before moving on to production.
