PRODUCT DESIGN
At 3D Restoration, our experienced team of professionals will meet you wherever you are in your project’s development process. Whether its in the beginning stages or you’re ready for full-scale production, our expertise will help you decrease costs and production time. We have the ability to work from detailed CAD models or paper sketches to help you quickly develop high-quality parts and products.
Our engineering team will also analyze your project to ensure the best possible process and solution will meet the unique needs of your project. By starting in the initial stages with 3D Restoration, time and costs will be lower, and collaboration between teams are increased, to help you get the most from our advanced manufacturing services.

CONCEPTUALIZATION
Every product starts with an idea. That idea, becomes a concept with a particular focus on your product goals, your budget and production schedule. Market research will be conducted in this phase. With all the above information gathered, a 2D concept rendering of your design is made. This information is used to create detailed 3D models of your product and, when appropriate, a 3D printed conceptual prototype.
PROTOTYPING
Once your product concept is approved, a prototype of the design will be created. First, we’ll select preliminary manufacturing technologies and materials as we develop your proof of concept. In this stage, we work to improve your design’s manufacturing process to ensure maximum efficiency while also reducing costs. Semi-functional rapid prototypes to test and refine your design are made.
FINAL PRODUCT
The final stage of development, full-functioning prototypes and manufacturing-ready 3D models are prepared. Any custom tooling requirements will also be determined at this stage in development. We will also source vendors for any hardware or other off-the-shelf parts. At the end of the product design process, you will have everything you need to move into manufacturing.
CAD & 3D MODELING
Using Stratasys and MasterCam CAD software, 3D Restorations gives customers precise views of trays, slices, and model data on part design, replacement and replication.
For projects using 3D printing and other digital manufacturing technologies, a CAD model is essential to developing and manufacturing your product. Even when it’s not necessary, however, a detailed 3D model is crucial for product design and development. It is also the perfect tool for communicating your concept, refining your design or producing a rapid prototype.
3D Restoration provides CAD and 3D modeling services for any step of the product design process including initial design stage, proof of concept, prototyping and manufacturing of the final product.
RAPID PROTOTYPTING
Rapid prototyping is the most effective way to turn your idea into a successful product – quickly and easily. No matter the stage in development you are – concept to functional prototyping – Rapid Prototyping with 3D Restoration is the premier solution to your design challenge and can help you get to market faster than you imagined.
DESIGN: MANUFACTURING
If you’re looking to minimize manufacturing cost and shorten your project timeline, Design for Manufacturing is the product development approach you should be making. Parts are designed to be manufactured with as little setup and manual intervention as possible. 3D Restoration’s expert design team will help determine your project needs, like manufacturing technology, that are specific to your product challenges so you can get to market faster – and more efficiently!
DESIGN: ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Using Thermwood’s cut and shape technology, 3D Restoration has the capability to produce large-scale components and design those parts with “Near Net Shape” CAD slicing software, which provides feature-rich operation. With the ability to coordinate effortlessly with the LSAM machine and control, it accepts a wide variety of formats including: solid, surface, mesh or 2D geometry.
DESIGN TO MANUFACTURING: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
3D Restoration’s design and manufacturing teams work together to ensure seamless transition from prototype to finished product. With our wide range of capabilities including design, prototyping, industrial finishing, you can manufacture finished products and parts in one place. This way, you’ll have all your information for reordering, design changes, or material upgrades with the same company instead of having to communicate with multiple locations.
