Industrialization &
Manufacturing Process
Polycarbonate (PC) is quite an efficient material that is amorphous and transparent in nature. It is a type of thermoplastic used in manufacturing a wide variety of shapes and sizes of plastic. PC injection molding is one of the best choices for manufacturing custom-tailored plastic because of its highly flexible and impact-resistant qualities.
Polypropylene(PP) is a thermoplastic resin used for its flexibility and strength. It has a very low density and is suitable for scientific molding. Its flexibility and resistance find much application in packaging sensitive material. PP is an “addition” polymer, made from the linking of many polypropylene monomers.
Polyethylene or polythene is the resin made from the polymerization of ethene. PE is the most versatile synthetic resin. It has a crystalline structure and can be high density (HDPE) or low density (LDPE). It is used by the packaging and plastic manufacturing industries.
Nylon resins are durable and have excellent strength. The polyamide structure also gives it high-temperature tolerance and density. Nylon also has wide-ranging uses due to its many useful properties. It is elastic, has high tensile strength and oil resistance as well. Therefore, it is commonly used in the automobile industry, packaging, construction material and electronic components.
PC/ABS combines the strength of PC and the flexibility of ABS, making it ideal for use by a custom plastic molding company. TPE and TPU are thermoplastic elastomers. They are used for making lids, sports goods, power tools, medical device parts, etc. They are used in these industries for their abrasion resistance and elasticity.

Results
Geometrically Accurate Products
We adhere to our customer’s requests about their prototype design. We make sure that the products are of the same description and the best quality when the order is fulfilled.
Premium Quality
We lay extra emphasis on our quality, whether it is the geometry of the prototype, the quality of material used, or the quality of the design.
Rapid prototyping is an additive manufacturing process that uses a UV laser and a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer resin to quickly produce prototypes, one layer at a time. This method enables the fast creation of prototype models for evaluation and testing before full-scale production.
Rapid prototyping is significantly faster and more cost-effective than traditional prototyping methods. Traditional methods can take weeks or months to produce a prototype, while rapid prototyping can produce models in just a few hours or days, allowing for quicker iteration and development.
Rapid prototyping offers several benefits, including the ability to reuse molds for multiple parts, compatibility with a wide range of materials, faster production times, reduced material waste, strong and durable parts, high-quality surface finishes, precision, and lower costs compared to traditional methods.
With rapid prototyping, a model can be completed in just a few hours or days, compared to the weeks or months required by traditional manufacturing methods. This speed allows for faster development cycles and quicker time-to-market.
Materials available for rapid prototyping include:
- Plastics: ABS, PLA, Polyethylene
- Metals: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Titanium
- Rubber/Elastomers: Silicone, TPU
- Composites: Carbon Fiber, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers
At Marlee – Texen, rapid prototyping is ideal for functional testing of parts. It allows for the production of components that can be tested for fit, function, and performance. This helps to identify necessary adjustments in design, materials, size, shape, assembly, color, manufacturability, and strength before full-scale production.
Typical lead times for rapid prototyping projects at Marlee – Texen range from a few hours to several days, depending on the complexity and size of the prototype. This quick turnaround enables faster product development and iteration.
Rapid prototyping helps in the design validation process by allowing designers to quickly create and test physical models of their designs. This process uncovers usability issues, optimizes workflows, and ensures a seamless user experience. Interactive wireframes can simulate user interfaces for early validation and feedback, improving the overall design quality.
Yes, rapid prototyping enables the creation of complex geometries and intricate designs that are difficult or sometimes impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This capability allows designers to explore innovative shapes and structures, enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the final product.
Marlee – Texen’s rapid prototyping improves time-to-market for new products by allowing designers to quickly test multiple designs, features, and functionalities within a shorter timeframe. This accelerates the development cycle, reduces the risk of costly design errors, and enables faster iterations, leading to quicker finalization and production of the product.
