Hey guys, I want to make couple sculptures/toys and make 50-100 copies of them to sell. I was googling for different companies but its quite hard to find the right one.
Do you know anybody who does this type of thing?
thanks very much for answers. Ownage is right what I needed, though prices are extreme:(
Pardev is usual prototyping printing company as many others.
not sure where you’re located or what you’re looking for but Ownage is in China. Paradigm (pardev) does printing as well as prototype molding & casting. They may be able to help you out with the quantity by going that route instead of trying to print every one but it’s your call how you want to make them.
I’m in New Zealand) so I don’t really care about the location.
Hm, ownage is so expensive even though they are in China.
So in Paradigma they can make bunch of copies using one master model? Is it gonna be much cheaper?
I’m not yet acquinted with the whole process.
My opinion is that Ownage prices are actually pretty reasonable relatively speaking. Personally it may be a financial whack in the head but compared to the market their prices are good. I can’t say for certain not knowing what your model looks like, size, price point, etc. but molding & casting can be a great way to amortize your costs over a greater quantity. There are limitations & associated costs but it’s at least worth a look. You may be able to save big bucks if you’re willing/able to do the part cleanup (flash/seam lines/bubbles, etc) & any assembly or decoration yourself. Paradigm’s molding & casting process is state of the art & the parts come out very good straight out of the mold. Hope this helps & best of luck.
shhark, thx for the help man, I’ll send’em them a message then
