Wonderful customer service. They lead me to an outcome where this particular project would be better served in a different way, but this care and attention will lead me to come back to RapidMade and tell my colleagues about it.

I recently had the opportunity to design some parts to be 3D printed. I sent over my designs and talked with Andrew about what the parts intended function are. He guided me through the proper material and printing method to be used. The final printed parts are now on the production line and are working great.

10 out of 10. Andrew and his team at RapidMade were able to deliver high quality 3D printed parts in a very timely manner. They should definitely be considered for all 3D printing needs.

I've been looking for a large scale 3-D printer for a work project. I work at a zoo and botanical garden, so I'm no expert in the field of 3-D printing. ChatGPT recommended eight large scale 3-D printing companies in the US to help with our project. Only one of them seemed to care about our project: Andrew LaPlant at RapidMade. He asked lots of questions and helped us figure out what we needed to make our project work. Thanks Andrew. You definitely made RapidMade stand out from the crowd.

Andrew LaPlant assisted me in choosing the correct material and process required for a batch of complex 3D printed parts which required painting. The parts ended up better than expected and on time. I would definitely refer RapidMade to someone looking for quick custom prototypes

We previously worked with a few larger prototyping companies and communication was slow and frustrating. We are very happy with how fast and helpful Andrew has been, and we are genuinely impressed with the surface finish RapidMade can achieve with 3D printed part. This will be our go-to choice for fast prototypes from now.

What is Thermoforming?

Thermoforming is heating plastic sheets until pliable, then forming them over a mold using vacuum. Once cooled, the rigid forms are trimmed, cleaned, and finished into precise parts.

Ideal for low-cost tooling and low-volume production, thermoforming excels in rapid prototyping and quick-turn manufacturing.
