SLA Visual Prototypes for Packaging Review

Before committing to injection molding, a consumer electronics team ordered high-detail SLA housings to review with marketing and retail partners. AIHFABS let them compare finish quality and color options across suppliers.

Challenge

• Smooth surfaces required for photography and stakeholder review
• Multiple color samples needed within the same build window
• Tight confidentiality around unreleased product geometry

Solution

The team uploaded STEP and STL files, selected SLA with standard resin, and added a painted finish note in the order remarks. Two supplier quotes highlighted different post-processing capabilities.

Results

• Approved visual model in one iteration cycle
• Retail presentation assets captured before tooling deposit
• Clear quote breakdown helped procurement justify vendor selection
