What is rapid prototyping?
Prototyping refers to the process of creating functional or visual models during product development using manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining and 3D printing. These physical prototypes are produced based on CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files or existing samples to validate predetermined functions, structural integrity, and aesthetic features prior to mass production.
By addressing issues early in the development cycle, prototyping significantly reduces production risks and associated costs. Furthermore, physical prototypes serve as powerful marketing tools that demonstrate product characteristics and competitive advantages, thereby facilitating stakeholder communication and market validation.
This critical phase enables designers and engineers to:
- Verify technical feasibility and design rationality
- Identify potential flaws through real-world testing
- Implement necessary improvements efficiently
