PROTOTYPING SERVICES.
Prototyping is an essential step in refining and testing product ideas before production. At Luft Product Design, we offer a wide range of prototyping services tailored to sporting goods and outdoor equipment, as well as other industries.
Our in-house facilities and trusted local partners enable us to provide efficient, high-quality solutions for every stage of product development.
Explore our range of prototyping services below:
IN-HOUSE 3D PRINTING.
FDM 3D PRINTING.
Our in-house FDM printing service is ideal for prototyping and low-volume production runs with no costly set-up compared to other production techniques. 3D printing allows for quick turnaround times and cost-effective iteration.
Materials Available: PLA*, PETg*, ABS, ASA, TPU (flexible), Polyamide 6 - Nylon 6**Also available in carbon fibre variant.SLA 3D PRINTING.
Our in-house SLA printing service is perfect for prototypes that demand exceptional accuracy and intricate detail. SLA printing is well-suited for creating presentation-ready models or prototypes that require specialised properties, such as flexibility, transparency, or heat resistance.
Materials Available: Standard Resin, Tough Resin, Flexible Resin, High Temperature Resin
If you’re unsure about the best prototyping method for your project, we’re here to help. Get in touch to discuss your requirements, and let us help you bring your ideas to life.
OTHER IN-HOUSE SERVICES.
CASTABLE PLASTICS AND RESINS.
For prototypes requiring specific material properties, we work with castable plastics such as polyurethane and other resins. This method is ideal for testing products where durability, flexibility, or chemical resistance is critical.
METAL CASTING.
Our in-house metal casting facilities enable us to produce metal prototypes in a range of materials, including lead, tin, copper, silver, and gold. We can cast small components or create bespoke parts for functional testing or presentation purposes.
ADVANCED PROTOTYPING METHODS THROUGH LOCAL PARTNERS.
SLS 3D PRINTING.
SLS 3D printing uses powdered materials and lasers to create durable and lightweight parts with exceptional strength. This technique is ideal for functional prototypes or end-use parts that need complex geometries and robust material properties.
Materials Available: Polyamide 12 - Nylon 12, TPU (flexible)3 AND 5 AXIS CNC MILLING.
CNC milling enables precise fabrication of parts from a range of materials, including metals and plastics. With 3 and 5-axis milling, complex shapes can be machined with high accuracy, making it suitable for functional prototypes, tooling, or production-quality components.
LASER CUTTING.
Laser cutting is a fast and accurate method to create flat parts from sheet materials, such as metals, plastics, or wood.
PRESS BRAKE METAL FORMING.
We offer press brake metal folding to create precise bends and folds in sheet metal. This technique is ideal for producing structural components, enclosures, or brackets for prototypes or finished products.
3D SCANNING.
3D scanning allows us to capture the exact dimensions and details of existing objects. This is useful for reverse engineering, quality control, or integrating legacy parts into new designs. Our partners use advanced scanners to produce accurate digital models.
WHY CHOOSE LUFT?
Our comprehensive prototyping services are designed to meet the demands of sporting goods and outdoor equipment design, while remaining adaptable to projects in other industries. With our in-house expertise and access to cutting-edge technologies, we ensure your prototypes are accurate, functional, and ready for the next phase of development.
