Rapid Prototyping FAQs
1. When do I need rapid prototypes?
There are a couple of scenarios where rapid prototypes become a need. The first is when the cost of product development becomes too high. Rapid prototyping cost is lower than conventional prototyping, reducing product development costs. Rapid prototypes are also needed when you need to identify and evaluate product hazards as well as test functionality.
2. Is rapid prototyping different from 3D printing?
Rapid prototyping and 3D printing are completely different from each other. 3D printing is a technology that uses additive manufacturing to develop products. On the other hand, rapid prototyping is an umbrella term for a group of techniques used for the manufacturing of product parts from a 3D CAD model.
3. What materials can be used in rapid prototyping?
Materials vary depending on the technique used and can include plastics, resins, metals, ceramics, and composite materials. Each material has specific properties suited for different applications.
4. What is the difference between rapid prototyping and traditional prototyping?
Making design modifications after the CNC machining process has started can be complex and may incur additional costs and lead time. It's best to finalize the design before the process begins. However, if necessary, we can work with clients to make changes, understanding that it may affect the project timeline and cost.
5. What industries use rapid prototyping?
Rapid prototyping enables quick validation of design concepts, functional testing, and iterative improvements. It accelerates the development process, reduces costs, and enhances innovation by allowing designers to experiment and refine their ideas before committing to mass production.
6. Can rapid prototyping be used for production parts?
Yes, in some cases, especially with advances in 3D printing technologies, rapid prototyping can be used for small-batch production or custom parts. However, for large-scale production, traditional manufacturing methods are still more economical.
