How long does a prototype take in Chicago?

Standard printing takes 3–5 business days after approval. Design is scheduled separately, and a revision round is scoped when you ask for it.

Can you design it as well as print it?

Yes. Mechanical design in Creo at $145 an hour, one-hour minimum, with the deliverables agreed first.

Printed prototypes for fit, assembly, and ergonomics, with variants in one batch and revision rounds scoped as you learn.

Variants versus revisions
Three variants in one batch share the setup and arrive together. A revision is a new round with its own scope, schedule, and quote.
What a print can prove
Fit, feel, assembly, and ergonomics. Fatigue life and molded-part strength need other methods, and we say which before you test.
Design help
Sketch to Creo model at $145 an hour, one-hour minimum, scoped before it starts. You own the agreed files.
After the prototype
Repeat small runs from the approved revision when FDM suits the part. Planning for another process is assessed per project.
