Prototyping
Prototyping is a critical stage of product development that allows designers and engineers to validate, test, and improve their design concepts. 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum casting are three commonly used prototyping techniques that each have their own characteristics in terms of the appearance, structure, and function of producing prototypes.
● Appearance: Complex designs with possible layer lines on the surface.
● Structure: Suitable for complex internal structures, moderate strength.
● Function: Rapid iteration, ideal for design verification.
● Structure: Suitable for complex internal structures, moderate strength.
● Function: Rapid iteration, ideal for design verification.
● Appearance: High surface finish, simpler designs.
● Structure: High precision and strength, suitable for durable prototypes.
● Function: Accurate dimensions, suitable for complex assemblies.
● Structure: High precision and strength, suitable for durable prototypes.

Prototyping Process
1
Design Phase
Create a digital model with CAD software, set design specs, and requirements.
2
Technology Selection
Choose the best prototyping method based on design complexity and constraints.
3
Prototype Construction
Fabricate the prototype using selected technology.
4
Testing
Perform tests and gather feedback for design improvements.
5
Iteration
Redesign and refine the prototype until it meets all criteria.
6
Final Validation
Confirm the prototype is ready for mass production.
Technologies and Materials:
Materials include plastics (ABS, PLA, PETG, PC), metals (aluminum, steel), rubber/silicone, and resins. The selection of technology and materials for prototyping is driven by its intended use, complexity, and durability. The objective is to mirror the final product’s functionality and aesthetics, while managing cost and time effectively.
3D Printing: SLA, SLS, FDM, DLP for accurate and quick models. CNC Machining: Precision cutting for robust prototypes. Vacuum Casting: Silicone mold-making for small batch parts.3D printing
3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technique for producing three-dimensional objects by layering materials on top of each other. The basic principle of 3D printing involves breaking down a digital model into a series of thin layers, which are then sequentially printed and stacked by a specific 3D printer, ultimately forming a three-dimensional entity.
3D printing technology offers the following advantages:
It enables the creation of complex structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.
Without the need for complex molds and tools, products can be manufactured directly from digital models.
Due to on-demand printing, the material utilization rate is higher.
Products can be customized to meet individual needs.
For small-scale production, 3D printing can significantly reduce costs.
It allows for production to take place where needed, reducing logistics costs.
