Think It.
Prototype It.
Market It. Go.
Intek Plastics doesn’t just push the limits, we shape them. Our plastic additive manufacturing technologies let you create real, tangible parts, allowing you to see exactly how your concept performs in hand. No guesswork, no close enough simulations, just actual plastic parts providing real-world insights, faster testing and smarter decisions. Our rapid plastic prototyping services make it easier than ever to bring your ideas to life quickly, precisely and repeatably.
Work with our team to select the right technology for your application to be fast, functional and practical. Refine and iterate your concepts with our rapid turnaround. Then, scale your product from concept validation to production-rate with additive-manufactured or injection-molded parts. From a lot size of one to 1,000,000 parts, Intek has the capability and the know-how to be your trusted partner for the entire product life cycle.
