3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping.

Rapid Prototypes are developed utilizing 3D Printing to allow fast fabrication of any physical 3-D scale model. Rapid prototypes are made from the exact same CAD file which produces patent drawings and blueprints. Rapid Prototypes are made for a number of different reasons. Rapid Prototypes are widely-used in Product Engineering to allow fast fabrication of a physical and 3-D scale model. Rapid prototypes can be used to find out about and test different aspects of concepts, ideas, and assumptions. Design modeling includes a rich tradition utilizing prototypes of numerous kinds to discover and communicate evolving ideas and potential solutions.

3D Printing for producing variations of a design.

Rapid Prototyping allows us to refine and change designs where a design can be tweaked to quickly test iterative design improvements. Prototyping includes a critical and distinct place in the innovation process. Rapid prototypes usually vary from rough paper sketches and interactive simulations, to model component parts that appear and function like a part of one final product. Rapid Prototypes are developed with a CAD file along with a 3D Printer. Rapid prototypes can be used to find out about and test different elements of concepts, ideas, and assumptions. By combining wireframes, spreadsheets and rapid prototypes we’re able to define well-structured content in early stages of a project.

As increasing numbers of prototyping technologies emerge, and because the field of interaction design evolves, we’re often challenged to produce prototypes that will realistically simulate both physical and digital user experiences. Reverse engineering, design and inspection software permit you to engineer anything in 3D, and quickly and accurately go to 3D print or manufacture. The rapid prototyping process proceeds by developing an exact design based upon specifications. CAD programs are used to design the files manufacturers use to produce products for rapid prototypes, CNC, injection molds, and any other kind of manufacturing produced by machines. Product prototype design helps investors and future customers to take your ideas seriously and it usually lowers prototype development and commercialization costs.

3D Printing & Innovation.

Prototyping features a critical and distinct place in the innovation process. Rapid prototyping provides a fast and efficient method of exploring User Experience within the design process. Ideally, prototyping should take place as soon as possible. This gives innovators leverage for user research to ensure the design can be positively iterated with hard data from that research. Rapid prototyping looks to utilize the best effective testing methods available. The rapid prototyping process offers designers numerous advantages. Rapid prototyping, also referred to as solid freeform fabrication, is an additive layering process. Rapid prototyping is also currently getting into the arena of rapid manufacturing.

You can capture your world in 3D and see the power of physical photography using a 3D scanner and editing software. Now it is possible to Explore 3D printing on your desktop, for your office and at home with desktop 3D printers. 3D printing uses various CAD programs like Auto Desk Inventor and Solid Works. A well known application of 3D printing is ideal for the process of investment casting. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing procedure that works the best for producing actual nylon or glass filled nylon parts. 3D Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Printers allow the production of parts at a click of a mouse.

Production 3D Printing.

A Production 3D Printer can throw open new markets in your business and offer you competitive advantages that you simply cannot find anywhere else. The advantages of elastomer 3D printing is its rapid turnaround of parts and the quality of its products. 3D scanning technologies can be used for instant, full-color 3D face capture. 3D Printers designed for production allow the generation of concept models with precision producing functional prototypes, master patterns, and tooling, with real commercial-ready parts. The most popular 3D printing and prototyping process is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM).

3D printers work like inkjet printers. Some key companies that make 3D printers are Stratasys for higher end systems, and the inexpensive MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer. 3D printing systems can be used for color 3D printing, medical, rapid prototyping and home printing applications utilizing a large variety of materials having different properties. Some of the newer higher end systems also can make parts that are transparent. Other materials have high heat properties where parts made can withstand higher temperatures. Such materials are useful for high temperature parts required for product.design. Other materials have high-strength, high-impact properties and yet others are rubber-like and flexible. Most materials can be sanded, and painted.

Material jetting remains a costly 3D printing technology, however, the final results can be spectacular. As 3D printing technology rapidly advances, buyers are rewarded with better-performing 3D printers with more materials at lower costs.

Other companies are making 3D printers based on multi jet technology, which mixes conventional 3D printing technology with new techniques and materials.

3D Printing Services.

Instead of purchasing a 3D Printer, there are wide variety of 3D printing services that designers can use. This eliminates the need to incur the expense of buying the actual equipment and supplies. Making use of these 3D printing services also allows companies or designers to outsource the production of prototype parts. Of course, if a designer or a company intends to engage in developing many prototype parts, and wishes to keep their designs confidential, it might be best to purchase a system for in-house use.
