A prototype is a model of a product made to validate the ideas, concept or process used to manufacture the product. The prototyping process not only involves the manufacturing of the prototype, but also tries to test the product in real world environments in order to formulate and finalize the design, material of construction, its form, fit or functions along with the associated risk or failure mode of the process that is employed to manufacture the product.
Depends on the function, criticality and complexity of the product in question, prototyping goes through several iterations and design of the product before releasing the final design for serial or mass production. Modern manufacturing techniques such as Laser Cutting, CNC Machining, 3D printing etc. are increasingly used these days to improve the efficiency of the prototyping process. Rapid prototyping is a fast growing industry leveraging the advancement of various techniques described above which is allowing designers and product
Precision prototyping process employed greatly enhances the product life cycle by testing and validating the actual design before it is released for mass production. Improved design characteristics and increased quality control inherently available with these modern manufacturing process allows the stake holders to bring the product to the market and helping them to reduce the errors in design and other functional requirements.
Prototyping process has evolved from traditional methods like clay modelling, casting and manual hand work to advanced manufacturing technologies such as Laser Cutting, CNC Machining, Laser welding, 3D printing etc. Rapid prototyping is the terms used currently in the industry to reflect this dramatic advancement in the prototype manufacturing process.
Industries such as Aerospace, Defense, Oil & Gas, Die & Mold, Consumer Goods, Medial Devices and Automotive Industries significantly leverages the benefits offered by the various precision manufacturing techniques employed in the rapid prototyping processes. This in turn enabling them to test their parts or components for its features, functionality, efficiency and safety ensuring performance and customer requirements.
