Abstract
In this article we demonstrate benefits that rapid prototyping methods bring to a modern hi-tech laboratory. Research and development facilities, such as the HiLASE center, handles a huge amount of custom components that needs to be fitted and adjusted on site.
The HiLASE center focuses on innovative laser technologies. Due to fast speed of research we have to speed up the design process as well. Production method based on in-house fast and cheap 3D printing enables effective testing of custom design solutions and avoids time delays when compared to outsourced common subtractive manufacturing technology. For numerous special design applications the additive 3D printing methods offers manufacturing capabilities that cannot be reached otherwise.
