This video shows how InventHelp creates an invention prototype model from a CAD drawing, using 3-D printing technology.

Our software automatically plots out the various components of a prototype model, and also generates the support material that will initially hold the model together.

Next, our 3-D prototype printers heat ABS plastic into a semi-liquid state and feed it into the machine. One by one, the machine lays out thin ABS cross-sections of the invention model until it is complete.

After the plastic hardens to a solid state, a chemical solution dissolves the support material, leaving only the finished prototype.

  • This may be a stupid question, but do those really work as wrenches or is it stuck in that position? If you tried to twist a nut, would it break?

    InventHelp invention prototype models are produced using Dimension™ 3-D Printers. Dimension 3-D Printers employ a patented technology called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to construct physical models layer by layer from durable acrylnitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic
