Plastic prototypes are a key component of modern product development. They enable design, function, and material behavior to be tested at an early stage and minimize development risks. With professional plastic prototyping, prototypes can be quickly adapted, tested, and optimized—before costly series tools are created.
As an experienced partner, 1zu1scale has been supporting companies for over 30 years in the development of high-quality plastic prototype parts – from the initial idea to series production.
Plastic Prototype Parts – fast & close to Series Production
Our plastic prototype parts are designed for real-world conditions. Depending on requirements, we manufacture optical models, functional prototypes, or near-series components for testing and pre-series production.
Typical characteristics of our plastic prototypes:
- High dimensional accuracy and detail precision
- Resilient and functional
- Wide variety of materials
- Fast iterations for design changes
Manufacturing Technologies for Plastic Prototypes
We rely on proven industrial processes for plastic prototyping:
- SLS 3D printing for robust, functional prototype parts
- SLA for high-precision and smooth plastic parts
- Vacuum casting for near-series prototypes in small series
This results in plastic prototype parts that can be tested realistically and developed reliably.
Why choose Plastic Prototypes from 1zu1scale?
- 30 years of experience in plastic prototyping
- Fast implementation of prototype parts
- Advice on technology and material selection
- Production-oriented thinking right from the start

We support companies in quickly achieving their desired goals – with functional, realistic plastic prototypes.
Areas of Application for Plastic Prototypes
- Product development and design
- Functional and stress tests
- Design and ergonomics tests
- Pre-series and pilot projects
- Validation prior to injection molding or series production
A good plastic prototype is more than just a sample: it enables realistic testing and informed decisions to be made before series production.
