Prototype Faster. Validate Sooner. Move to Production with More Confidence.
EPSI Rapid Prototyping helps customers move faster when a custom molded masking solution is needed and time is critical. Using advanced 3D printing technology, EPSI can accelerate form, fit, and application validation in days instead of weeks, helping engineering and production teams make better decisions sooner.
Why EPSI Rapid Prototyping Works
When speed matters and a traditional mold timeline is too long, rapid prototyping gives EPSI the ability to produce engineered and rubber-like prototype parts quickly. That means earlier evaluation, faster iteration, and a shorter path from concept to production-ready masking solution.
- Accelerate form and fit testing before full production tooling
- Reduce uncertainty early in the development cycle
- Evaluate geometry, flexibility, and handling before committing to production
- Support urgent programs, evolving requirements, and custom part refinement

The EPSI Guarantee, Applied to Faster Development
The EPSI Guarantee means practical solutions for demanding masking applications. Rapid prototyping extends that promise by helping customers shorten development time while improving confidence in the final solution. Faster validation means fewer surprises later and a stronger path to production.
From concept to evaluation, EPSI can move quickly through prototype development and customer review.
Prototype parts help accelerate decision-making before final tooling or full-scale production commitment.
In-House Equipment: Formlabs Form 4
EPSI currently uses a Formlabs Form 4 3D printer to support rapid prototype development. That gives us a fast-turn platform for evaluating custom masking designs, material behavior, and geometry before moving forward.
What This Means for Customers
In practical terms, EPSI can often develop and review prototype concepts much faster than waiting on traditional tooling alone. That is especially valuable when your team needs to confirm part design, sealing behavior, flexibility, compression, or overall application fit under real-world conditions.
Prototype to Production
EPSI uses advanced 3D printing technology to create prototype parts across a range of material characteristics and performance profiles. These prototypes help accelerate customer evaluation and improve confidence before committing to full production tooling or manufacturing.
Materials We Keep in Stock
EPSI stocks several materials that support a strong range of prototype needs, from soft elastomer-like behavior to general-purpose part validation and true silicone performance.
Elastic 50A Resin V2
A soft, translucent elastomer with a 50A Shore durometer that is ideal for prototype parts normally produced with softer rubbers and silicones. It is designed for bending, stretching, compression, repeated cycling, and quick recovery to shape.
Grey Resin V5
A versatile general-purpose resin that balances fast print speed, accuracy, clean presentation, dependable mechanical properties, and a reliable workflow. It is a strong option for overall part validation and fit-checking.
Silicone 40A Resin
Enabled by Formlabs Pure Silicone Technology, this material produces 100% silicone parts with strong elasticity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability for demanding prototype requirements.
More Materials Available
We have access to many more materials for your prototyping needs. If your application requires a specific flexibility, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, or performance profile, EPSI can help guide the best material path for evaluation.
