About Fastparts

Established in 1997, Fastparts has carved out a significant presence in the Brazilian prototyping market. The company, headquartered in Joinville, Santa Catarina, specializes in developing prototypes for a diverse range of industries both within Brazil and internationally. Initially focused purely on prototyping under the name FastParts – Protótipos, the firm has since expanded its service offerings and rebranded to simply Fastparts, reflecting its broader capabilities and technological advancement.

Fastparts operates at the intersection of design, engineering, and manufacturing, providing physical representations of products before they enter final production. This service is crucial for companies in sectors like automotive, consumer goods, and electronics to accurately assess product aesthetics, dimensions, and ergonomics. The firm's business model centers on providing bespoke prototyping solutions. It works closely with client teams from design, engineering, and marketing to translate digital concepts into tangible models, facilitating better inter-departmental alignment and product validation.

The company's core services include the creation of both conceptual and functional prototypes. Conceptual prototypes are simple, quickly made models used for initial idea exploration. More detailed functional prototypes are also offered, using sophisticated materials to closely simulate the final user experience and evaluate aspects like usability and interaction. To achieve this, Fastparts employs advanced manufacturing technologies, with a particular specialization in Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) and the creation of industrial molds. Additive manufacturing allows for the construction of complex, layer-by-layer structures directly from digital files, while their expertise in mold making is key for industries requiring high precision and repeatability in their parts.
