Functional Prototypes
Rapidly iterate working prototypes engineered for performance and manufacturability.
Bold ideas. Built Precisely.
Rapiprint Design Works is a South‑Central Iowa design & fabrication studio. We turn sketches, sketches-in-the-margins, and stubborn problems into functional prototypes, custom parts, and production-ready tooling.
What we build
Custom Parts & Runs
Single units or short production runs—designed for fit, strength, and cost-effective fabrication.
Jigs & Fixtures
Shop-first fixtures, alignment tools, and fixtures that speed assembly and reduce errors.
Special Projects
Unusual mechanical problems, conservation-minded fixes, and community-focused builds from idea to delivery.
Our workflow / 01
Clear steps. Better builds.
We combine engineering discipline with rural common sense—fast feedback, honest estimates, and parts that work in the real world.
- 1 — Tell us the problem.Send sketches, photos, measurements, or just a description. Email, upload, or start the intake form.
- 2 — We propose a plan.We respond with scope, materials, and a clear cost and timeline.
- 3 — Iteration & build.Prototype, test, and refine until the part works. Then we deliver finished parts or production-ready files.
Materials & capabilities
- PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon, TPU
- Carbon-fiber reinforced filaments & composite-friendly processes
- CNC milling & simple machining
- Design for assembly and long-term durability
Based in rural Iowa. Built for the real world.
We work with makers, farmers, small manufacturers, and anyone who needs reliable parts and practical solutions. Shipping and pickup available.
