In this article I will discuss the three most popular questions I receive when it comes to a prototype. What is a prototype? Should I develop a prototype? Reasons to develop a prototype.
What is a prototype?
Each idea is different and the best approach to prototyping depends on the specifics of the idea. However there are some basic principles that can help. The first question to ask is: “What is the prototype for?”
Presentation to interested parties
With today’s advancements in technology, CNC rapid prototyping can be done faster than ever. CNC machines can create three dimensional prototypes within days compared to the former technology of the past. With the software programs that run these machines, any design or specifications from one of your drawings can be created to the specifications that are required.
CNC rapid prototyping solutions include: stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), RTV tooling, hybrid tooling, injection molding, and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). Between these options, basically any part, mold, etc can be developed. Top quality engineers can help to make a dream a reality with the CNC rapid prototyping process.
