Why You Need Rapid Prototyping ?
Simply say, Rapid Prototyping is a technology that turn the CAD model into the physical prototype quickly .When a real prototype in hands ,you are able to check and test all the features quite conveniently ,from material to dimensions ,and appearance. Obviously creating prototype is the most economical way helping designers and investors to check and test before molding or other ways running mass production. It has been widely applied on all of kinds industry areas ,defense ,aerospace ,automotive ,medical etc.
Rapid prototyping is a relatively modern concept that rapidly produces prototypes to visually and functionally validate an engineering product design.Careful consideration of the five primary factors, namely purpose, quality, quantity, complexity, and cost, will significantly impact prototyping performance. A prototype is a dummy version of the end-product used to validate the design, test the technology, or analyze the working theory and offer product specifications for an actual functional device in the sense of engineering product design.
CNC Machining Involved In Prototype Making
For most of Western people when talking about rapid prototyping ,usually it refers to 3D printing ,SLS ,FDM etc technologies .However ,today CNC Machining technology is more and more universal ,especially in China ,most of prototype manufacturers have CNC machines in their shops .So that means CNC machining process is involved in rapid prototyping already. For now you could often hear people talking about CNC prototype machining ,after all ,3D printing has still too much limit on some special materials and surface finished ,specially for some metal prototype.
CNC prototype has more big advantage on tolerances ,threads ,and better surface finished. But if you are not sure which process is more suitable for your project when you are getting a quote ,then,you had better make a discussion with the prototype manufacturer according to your design,specification and request who will help you to make the right decision and custom prototype with the most economical way .
Advantages of Rapid Prototyping
Who will be possible interested in this rapid manufacturing services? As an industrial product designer, engineer, or probably some investors who are running business with the new product development relatedly, then, prototype will provide you with numerous benefits, including:
- The opportunity to quickly discover and cost-effectively realize ideas. Quick production times could allow projects to progress well beyond the simulation of an only concept. It will be more convenient to understand the whole design manufacture process and explore the function of part, no matter a single one, or multiple pieces.
- Designs adjustment and implement modifications constantly which are able to make for better product assessment and practical application testing. This offers a blueprint for developing and optimizing the fabulous ended product before moving to the public, making sure ultimately the design is refined and error-free.
- Obviously a CAD model in the computer showing cannot present the design concept clearly due to you cannot touch , and feel it .So rapid prototype realizes this to help customers better to clarify it along with a physical part on your hands .
- By removing the need for setup and tooling relatively. It make sense significantly to help customers to save money and shorten time through by using a prototyping technology. Imagining if you would create a mold directly ,how much will it cost you ?
