125. Intro to prototyping

Now more and more people are intereated in technology. For example rapid prototyping. Now many people also like the prototyping. so we introduce some things to you.

Prototypes are also useful for testing a design, to see if it performs as desired or needs improvement. Engineers have always tested prototypes, but RP expands their capabilities. First, it is now easy to perform iterative testing: build a prototype, test it, redesign, build and test. Such an approach would be far too time-consuming using traditional prototyping techniques, but it is easy using RP. In addition to being fast, RP models can do a few things metal prototypes cannot.

A much-anticipated application of rapid prototyping is rapid tooling, the automatic fabrication of production quality machine tools. Tooling is one of the slowest and most expensive steps in the manufacturing process, because of the extremely high quality required. Tools often have complex geometries, yet must be dimensionally accurate to within a hundredth of a millimeter.

Moreover, tools must be hard, wear-resistant, and have very low surface roughness. To meet these requirements, molds and dies are traditionally made by CNC-machining, electro-discharge machining, or by hand. All are expensive and time consuming, so manufacturers would like to incorporate rapid prototyping techniques to speed the process.

Thus it can be seen, there many other things about prototyping. If you are interested it, you can search it online. And you will find more information.
