Prototype Services


Our Skills and Capabilities:

Paramount established its roots in the traditional skills of model making and pattern making. Our customers ranged from heavy industrial applications like pumps and pump impellers for hydro-electric dams, and master patterns of injection molded toy products to wooden appearance models of AT&T phones.

Our customers were industrial designers, mechanical engineers, inventors, sales and marketing, package designers, or virtually anyone who was developing a product. Because of the broad application of our skills, all industries and markets were potential users of our capabilities.

As a result of the diversity of our skills and bandwidth of application experience, we found ourselves in a very unique position to have knowledge in many manufacturing processes. Foundry sand casting, injection molding, vacuum and pressure molding, blow molding, lost wax processes, painting and decorating techniques, packaging, the list became endless.

Today, in spite of computer technologies and rapid prototyping there continues to be a need for our traditional hands-on craft skills. Possibly because of our tenure and reputation, or because there continues to exist a real need for these skills Paramount's prototype services is flourishing.

Our sample duplication capabilities include: silicone rubber mold making, cast rigid and flexible urethane reproductions, custom color matching and rotational molding. Our model making skills can undetectably simulate all molding processes like injection molding or blow molding. Extensive material choices allow us to select mechanical properties to provide a best match to your product performance specifications. We utilize ten autoclaves to produce pressure castings. An automated liquid injection molding prototype duplication process (LIM), which incorporates a two-part urethane mix and dispensing process, provides economies found only in harder tooling processes. Our rubber mold making process is completely automated to insure economy and quality. This capacity has produced up to 3,000 parts for one project in less than three weeks.

Our projects begin with your designs. We can start with your CAD data, design control drawings, engineering drawings, concept sketches or just plain discussion. Our team of model makers, pattern makers and sculptors are experienced in virtually all aspects of physical product development and presentation arts. Mechanical breadboards of complex mechanisms, to machined and fabricated prototypes used in clinical trials or performance evaluations, typify what we do for our clients.
