Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping is an advanced technology that can convert a three dimensional computer model into solid objects without human intervention. In other words, rapid prototyping quickly engineers mock-ups of what a product will look like, and, these are later used to test the product’s technical feasibility or consumer interest. The speed and low cost of the mock-up allows design teams to test their new designs frequently in the production stage.

Rapid prototyping has a lot of advantages. Physical models can be developed in significantly less time as compared to the machining process. This helps to reduce project cost and risk. Rapid prototyping helps in early review of the product. This means that any existing problems are also discovered early. And if the feedback comes in early, you have more time to incorporate them, thereby achieving a better quality product. The manufacturer, designer and end user can discuss the product in detail. Rapid prototyping can help detect almost all design flaws before the actual manufacturing starts. Factors like robustness, functionality, manufacturability can also be checked and reviewed. Rapid prototyping also helps the user know what the final product will look like.
