Turn CAD into meter-scale, functional prototypes in days, not months. Phoenix Design Lab runs large-format 3D printing (LFAM) in Dilsen, Belgium using technical, recycled polymers—so you can validate form, fit, and function fast and move to stockless series with confidence.
What you get (outcomes)
- Speed to proof — DfAM sprint → first article ≤ 7 days; iterate same week.
- Real-world validation — functional geometries at meter scale; assemble, load-check, refine.
- Spec-grade documentation — part datasheet, inspection/first-article report, traceability and CO₂ badge.
- Path to production — prototypes are built on the same toolchain as series; roll straight into 2–4 week production.
- Circular by default — recycled polymer blends, optional Closed-Loop Credits for returns.
Capabilities at a glance
- Scale: meter-class parts and large assemblies; complex geometries without tooling.
- Materials: rPET, rPP, rPE and fiber-reinforced blends via certified partners.
- Accuracy: as-printed repeatability typically ±0.5% (min ±0.5 mm); critical faces to ±0.10 mm where specified (after defined finishing).
- Finishing: as-printed, smoothing, bonding, inserts; light CNC & coatings available (via partner L&D Jettechniek).
- Deliverables: CAD/print notes, datasheet, batch IDs, first-article measurement highlights, CO₂ badge.
Typical prototypes
- Furniture & interiors: table bases, dividers, acoustic forms, pedestals
- Architecture: façade mock-ups, formwork/moulds, ornament studies
- Retail & brand: sculptural elements, VM/POP, event pieces
- Industrial & defense: jigs/fixtures, housings, fairings, mission-specific parts
Why Phoenix for prototypes
Speed, scale, and a straight line to production. The same LFAM process and recycled materials power your prototype and your stockless series—so what you prove is what you ship.
