Transitioning from an initial concept to a product ready for the market is a path filled with hurdles, intricate challenges, and a constant battle against the clock. Within this context, companies specializing in rapid prototyping have become key contributors, providing innovative approaches that drastically reduce the time required for product development. This discussion explores the […]
The automotive industry is undergoing a substantial shift, fueled by the need for creative solutions to meet the changing demands of consumers and regulatory agencies alike. As more and more parts of the vehicle are made of plastic, for design and weight considerations, injection mold tooling has become a significant technology for creating automotive prototypes […]
The path from an initial idea to a physical product contains essential stages, particularly in sectors with stringent demands such as energy. The roles of prototyping and manufacturing custom components are crucial to ensure that emerging products adhere to the strict criteria of functionality and durability. This blog discusses the fundamental steps of this detailed […]
The genesis of every electronic product is prototyping – where ideas are tested, refined, and transformed into viable designs. As innovation surges forward, the distinction between prototype companies that can make not only physical parts but also develop the electronics that make the product work becomes increasingly critical.
The Evolving Landscape of Electronic Prototyping
In the dynamic […]
After approving your team’s product design, you’ll need to find a reputable company to make a prototype. Don’t settle on just any company. Instead, choose one that offers CNC rapid prototyping and other fabrication services. That way, you can use one trusted source for all aspects of your prototypes.
In addition, select a supplier that offers […]
Many designers are familiar with using CNC machining to achieve high quality prototypes that meet both appearance and dimensional tolerance requirements. With the evolution of additive manufacturing (“3D Printing”), additional design features that previously required high-cost tooling or substantial labor by skilled craftsmen can now be incorporated into prototype parts at a reasonable cost. Here’s […]
If you need a replacement part, in most cases you contact the manufacturer and order what you need. But for older items, the parts may no longer be available. In addition, you may not even be able to get drawings to help you purchase the parts elsewhere. This is where reverse engineering can help. Reverse […]
Depending on where you are in the rapid prototyping manufacturing process, certain factors will be more important than others. A prototype manufacturing company that follows these guidelines can help you prototype your product quickly and economically.
You can divide the prototyping process into five stages:
1. Concept Model
2. Assembly or Fit Testing
3. Functional Testing
4. Life Testing
5. Regulatory […]
Utilizing one company for both prototype development and low-volume production of a given product is highly beneficial. This is a sure way to reduce the cost of tooling development. At the same time, it prevents costly delays. The key is to choose a prototype manufacturing company with outstanding qualifications in both areas.
Unfortunately, a search for […]
Casting Small Aluminum Parts: When you have an aluminum part that needs to be manufactured in small quantities for prototype, design, testing, or small-volume production, you might want to consider aluminum die casting. The right prototype manufacturing company can help you get the project done on time and at economical costs.
Die Casting Parts
The main benefit […]
