Does RapidDirect make custom parts?
The goal of RapidDirect is to allow product designers and businesses — no matter the size — to realize their manufacturing projects, from one-off prototypes to the mass manufacture of custom machined parts.
We’ve helped countless customers create custom machined parts, custom molded parts, custom 3D printed parts and more. To put it simply, RapidDirect turns ideas into reality.
Most importantly, we can work with designers of all levels of expertise.
If you are unsure whether a design is mechanically feasible, or whether it is best suited to one manufacturing process or another, our expert team can guide the project to completion. We can provide Design for Manufacturability (DfM) advice, material recommendations and much more.
The only limits to our services are the physical and geometrical restrictions of machinery and materials.
To start your custom parts project, you should request an online quotation with us. When submitting a request for quote, you can drag and drop 3D files into the platform or ‘Click’ to select a file from a folder on your computer.
At present, the RapidDirect platform accepts the following formats:
- STEP (.step, .stp)
- Mesh (.stl)
You can upload multiple files as part of a single quotation.
