Have a broken part for which a replacement can’t be found?

The part’s failure mode, its function, and the manufacturability of the new part are all considered when designing a replacement. Any improvements for function, strength, or manufacturability are considered and implemented into the final design.

With in-house machining we can have a replacement part made in as little as a few days.

At Champlain Prototype we utilize Solidworks for all CAD work. With nearly a decade of Solidworks experience, no design project is too complex. If you have an idea you’d like to make tangible, I will work with you to make it a reality.

Product prototypes, mechanical devices, tools, and molds are all examples of projects we can help you with.

3D scanning is a powerful tool. Custom tools, accessories, or reverse-engineered replacements are all made easier with 3D scanning.

I have an infrared structured light scanner as well as a blue light scanner. Both are quite accurate with small to medium sized objects.

I use Mesh2Surface to create useful geometry from 3D scans.

We have several 3D printers for printing prototypes, molds, and even end-use parts. On-site printing is a crucial part of the design process. The ability to have a prototype in a few hours drastically reduces the time it takes to complete a project.

Quickly moving from CAD design to finished part is what we do best. Whether it’s one part or a few dozen, we can help.

Our Haas VF4 combined with a TRT210 provides a powerful and flexible machining platform. Large parts can be milled with 3 axes, while parts under 14.5” can be milled with 3+2 or simultaneous 5 axes.

Our Haas ST-10 is a compact, yet capable turning center. We have turned anything from aluminum, to stainless steel, to hardened tool steel with this machine.

We have an APSX-PIM and can inject small plastic parts using 3D printed or metal molds, both of which can be designed and made in-house.

Vacuum forming is an inexpensive process that is good for making basic prototypes, custom containers, packaging, open molds (soap, candy, chocolate, etc.), and much more.

We are able to vacuum form parts up to 10”x50” with a maximum draw of 7” in a wide range of materials.

Resin casting is a process that can yield an accurate, functional part in a wide range of plastic or rubber-like resins. Metallic components can be embedded in the casting to provide additional strength in specific areas.

Depending on the required accuracy and surface finish, casting molds can be printed to reduce time and material costs.
