Overview: Sherpa Design provides cost effective rapid prototyping services which allow you to communicate the same way you design: in 3D.

Using Z-Corp 3D printing technology, we can create models directly from your digital data. We can often quote and produce your part in 24 hours for a fraction of the cost of other prototyping methods.

How it works: 3D Printing is an additive build process similar to other rapid prototyping methods. Using a combination of plaster powder and binder fluid, parts are built layer by layer from the CAD data. The unused powder around the part serves as a support structure for the prototype. After a brief drying period the part is removed and depowdered. An infiltrant is applied to give the prototype its strength.

Once infiltrated, the part can be painted, plated, or otherwise finished to your needs. It can serve as a master pattern for RTV molding and low pressure cast urethane part creation. Part strength is very good to great, depending on the part geometry and infiltrant used.
