Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is commonly used in the product development process to test the design and functionality of a product before it is mass-produced. It allows designers and engineers to quickly create and evaluate prototypes, identify potential problems, and make changes to the design before committing to full-scale production.
Description
Rapid prototyping is a set of manufacturing techniques that allow for the rapid creation of physical prototypes or models of a product or part. These techniques typically use computer-aided design (CAD) data to generate a physical model, either by adding material layer by layer (additive manufacturing) or by removing material from a solid block (subtractive manufacturing).
Some common rapid prototyping techniques include 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, and injection molding. These techniques offer a high degree of flexibility and can be used to create prototypes of a wide range of sizes, shapes, and materials. Rapid prototyping allows for rapid iteration and testing of designs, helping to reduce the time and cost of product development.
