Types of Rapid Prototyping Applications
Rapid prototyping technology covers different technologies and materials. There are multiple types of prototypes depending on the application.
Concept Model
A proof-of-concept prototype is the simplest prototype and is used to communicate the basic design of a part. It is used primarily internally to iterate on a product.
Display Prototype
A display prototype (or appearance prototype) is a model that focuses on appearance. This prototype should be as similar to the final part as possible, but it may not function as designed.
Functional Prototype
A functional prototype functions similarly to the end-use part. This allows the designer to perform any necessary mechanical testing on the prototype to ensure that it functions correctly.
Pre-production Prototype
A pre-production prototype or factory sample is a prototype that is produced before production. It is used primarily to validate the selected mass production process and ensure that the manufactured part will function as expected.
What is rapid prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is the process of turning product ideas into physical models using various production technologies. A product project is basically an idea in the early stages, and if you want to sell the product or get investors interested, you need a physical model, that is, a product prototype.
To get a product to market, you need to improve it until you get a final version that can be put on the market. Therefore, the faster you make and improve prototypes, the faster you can get to market. Currently, all rapid prototyping work starts with a digital model, but the manufacturing hardware can include CNC machining, 3D printing, etc. You can make rapid prototypes using any material that is compatible with the manufacturing hardware you use. This may or may not include surface treatment. Therefore, when you want to develop and deliver a product using rapid prototyping services, the faster the better.
Prototyping Benefits
- Cost-effective method
- Reduces material waste
- No special tooling required to make models
- Flexibility to perform multiple design iterations in color, surface texture, design, and finishing processes
- Early physical verification of designs helps reduce overall risk
How to Choose the Right Rapid Prototyping Technology
The right prototyping method is one that fits your budget, the complexity of the part, the functions you want the prototype to perform, and your development timeline. Better prototypes cost more money and take longer to make, but they also better address issues such as form, fit, and function of production parts. So you need to answer the following questions to get the right rapid prototype parts.
- Will the prototype be a static display model?
- Does it need to be fully functional?
- Are there multiple interrelated parts?
- What is the surface texture and finish?
- What is it made of?
- How important are strength and durability?
- How closely should it match the final production version?
