Welcome to 3ERP's blog
We share information, tips and things we've learned from our years in the rapid prototyping and manufacturing industry.
What is on-demand rapid tooling and low-volume molding? From the dashboard of your car to the lid of your coffee cup, billions upon billions of everyday objects are brought into the world by molding, a process in which a hollow container is filled with a molten material to produce large numbers of a single object. […]
CNC milling is one of the most popular options for manufacturing prototypes and parts that entail cutting or drilling. The technology utilizes a rotating cylindrical cutting tool to cut or drill a design from metal or plastic material. Compared to traditional manufacturing techniques, CNC milling offers advantages such as high production speed, greater precision, and […]

While the outsourcing of mass production to China is now standard practice for many companies, the outsourcing of prototypes — preliminary versions of products that will be mass produced at a later time — is less common. Like all business decisions, outsourcing prototypes to China has its pros and cons, but when the right steps […]
Prototypes are of critical importance in the development and production of a wide range of medical devices, including anatomical models, hand-held appliances and larger pieces of equipment. Here are the five most utilized rapid prototyping methods commonly used to quickly create prototypes for the medical field. 5 Popular Rapid Prototyping Techniques Here are five methods […]
Fundamentally, you need precision machines. If your machine tolerance is +/- 0.05mm, but you try to make some parts with +/-0.01mm tolerance, that’s not going to happen for sure. An ant won’t be able to lift an elephant. Once you have precision machines ready, does that mean you can start to make precision parts? Not […]

The mold industry is one of the most long-span industries, and it has relationship with all areas of the manufacturing industry. In modern times, manufacturing and mold are highly dependent, and countless product components are manufactured by molding (injection, blow molding and silicone) or casting (mold casting, fining and spinning). No matter what application, the […]
After your team’s design has been validated with the development of a prototype, it’s time to look forward to the next phase. The plan for this next stage typically includes focusing on a solid course of action that is designed to bring the product to market in a way that positions it for success. Orchestrating […]
One of the steps involved in taking your concept from the prototype development stage to market is determining the lead times involved in its manufacture. Another important element to consider is the price quote. There are a number of — sometimes surprising — factors that could affect both the price you’re quoted and the lead […]
