As part of the Demonstrate phase of the Catalyst 6d process, prototyping and design verification can be as simple as sculpted clay/foam models or as detailed as a high level, non-linear finite element analysis. 

Whatever Your Prototype Need, Catalyst can do it! Foam and Clay Models Resin Cast Molds 3D Virtual Prototypes FDM/SLA/SLS RTV (Urethane Casting) CNC STAT
When you are ready, the Catalyst proprietary STAT process will produce real injection molded parts.

The Catalyst Edge: 

Rather than spend weeks or months optimizing design intent prior to verification, Catalyst believes that the faster a bench model or prototype can be produced the better—even if the design has not been completely finalized.  Once a general direction is chosen, we begin building a 3D parametric database.  Once a 3D database exists, the avenues for design verification are practically endless including vrtual prototypes and photorealistic rendering, stereolithography, RTV castings, CNC models and STAT Rapid Tooling.
