Your application requirement comes before the technology.
NeoVale studies how the part performs, checks manufacturing feasibility, and outlines the production route. Prototypes, load tests, and polymer selection are applied where they help solve the operational requirement.
Feasibility analysis focused on real-world use.
The CAD model is only part of the assessment. Mechanical stress, thermal exposure, chemical contact, assembly tolerances, and target quantities determine the manufacturing approach.
- Review of 3D CAD files, technical drawings, measured photos, or physical samples.
- Analysis of installation context and critical stress areas.
- Polymer recommendation based on operational demands.
- Recommendations on prototype validation prior to series production.
Prototype testing before batch production.
Physical prototypes confirm fit, geometry, and mechanical clearances. Findings from physical testing guide any required revisions before the final batch is manufactured.
- Prototyping for fit check and assembly validation.
- Targeted testing matching project inspection criteria.
- Documented dimensional adjustments prior to final runs.
- Continuous support from initial briefing through delivery.
NeoVale states dimensional tolerances only after measuring project geometry and verifying material behavior. Generic blanket tolerance promises are not published on this site.
NeoVale applies this methodology with Scuderia Power UP, fabricating polymer parts for competition vehicles and providing technical manufacturing support.
Which material fits your project?
No single polymer fits every industrial setting. Each material resolves a specific set of operating conditions: mechanical load, continuous heat, outdoor UV exposure, or elasticity.

How will the part be used?
Compare materials prior to answering.
| Material | Typical application | Key strength | Design considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | Form verification, visual display, and indoor use | Crisp detail, clean surface finish, and cost efficiency for form verification. | Deforms under heat; not intended for structural load or outdoor exposure. |
| PETG | Functional components and moderate moisture | Balanced strength and finish, with higher moisture resistance than PLA. | Less rigid than ABS when the application involves elevated operating temperatures. |
| ABS | Thermal and mechanical impact resistance | Thermal and mechanical resilience for demanding shop-floor conditions. | Not all geometries accommodate this polymer; feasibility evaluated on a per-project basis. |
| ASA | Outdoor weather and UV resistance | Resists sunlight and rain exposure better than ABS, maintaining structural rigidity. | Demanding production parameters; lead time and feasibility evaluated per part. |
| TPU | Flexibility, impact absorption, and bumpers | Flexible and shock-absorbing for protective bumpers and compliant mounts. | Not suited for rigid structural parts or fine geometric details. |
| Nylon | Mechanical load, friction, and wear resistance | High toughness and wear resistance for gears and sliding mechanical components. | Sensitive to ambient humidity absorption; project suitability confirmed during feasibility review. |
Qualitative comparison between technical polymers processed by NeoVale. Final selection depends on part geometry, operating environment, and actual use.
This comparison provides an initial reference. NeoVale confirms the polymer specification after reviewing part geometry, operating temperature, and mechanical stress.
What information should you send to get started?
Send whatever documentation you currently have. NeoVale examines the material and outlines the next engineering steps.
- 01
3D CAD file (if available)
STEP, STL, 3MF, or F3D files allow the fastest feasibility assessment and quote generation.
- 02
Technical drawing or dimensioned sketch
Hand sketches with key dimensions and mounting hole centers serve as a solid base for CAD modeling.
- 03
Photos with a scale reference
Clear photos from multiple angles with calipers or a ruler next to the part help establish scale and geometry.
- 04
Operating context
Working temperatures, chemical or solvent exposure, applied forces, and whether the part operates outdoors under direct sunlight.
Corporate invoicing: NeoVale issues official Brazilian electronic tax invoices (NF-e) for all physical parts and goods.
Which parts NeoVale accepts for manufacturing.
- Parts with a clear technical function: replacement parts, adaptations, or fixtures that resolve an operational challenge.
- Projects with ready 3D CAD models (STEP or STL).
- Repeatable orders: batch runs or scheduled replenishment.
When in doubt, describe the problem to solve. Some parts that appear decorative serve an underlying functional purpose, and discussion clarifies the technical path.
