Prototypes are the best way to convert your industrial ideas into tangible reality. Using CAD drawing techniques a specialist can produce a drawing of your yet to be realised final industrial product. With the help of computer simulations, the experts then convert the drawing into a prototype.
Industrial and Rapid Prototyping
If you want to create prototypes of small and large parts of your equipment used for industrial applications, try Industrial prototyping. This technique is cost effective and reduces design and testing time while offering better visualization of products. Since it offers a clear image of the product, this technique helps you foresee design problems that might occur in the later stages of production.
Rapid Prototyping is the best way to turn designs into three-dimensional objects. This technique is employed for designing models and prototyping small parts. It accelerates the product development process and guarantees a high quality, defect-free final product.
Types of Prototyping
There are three major stages or types of prototype creation:
- Breadboard
- Presentation Prototype
- Pre-Production Prototype
Breadboard
This stage attempts to create a basic working model of your entrepreneurial innovation. This stage is only concerned about converting your ideas into a functional model. It is used to convey your design ideas to potential model makers or manufactures so that they can create an aesthetically appealing finished product for sale.
Presentation Prototype
This stage of prototyping crafts a replica of the final product. The prototype created in this stage can be used for promotional activities. It is supposed to exhibit the functionalities of the product, though not necessarily an exact copy of the final product.
Pre-Production Prototype:
This stage produces an exact copy of the final product. This final-stage trial product is normally costly to produce. However it enables inventors and producers to evaluate every aspect of the product in detail which will help them identify potential design problems before launching the actual product. The drawings or photographs of this prototype can be used in brochures, mailings, pamphlets, advertising and so on. The pre-production type of prototypes can be shown to potential buyers since they are a true representation of the final product.
