Which rapid-prototyping technique works best for micromolded components? To find out, we developed a test part to send to several RP service bureaus. We designed the part to include many of the ...

Prototyping: With the use of CAD and massive amounts of digital simulation software available, it can often seem superfluous to make early appearance models, or even undertake early testing of new ...

Utilizing prototypes in physical product development is the key part of the product development process. Strategic, quality and methodical prototyping is the primary differentiator between a ...

A critical phase during product design and development is verification of your design. Design verification can be attained either by simulation or prototyping. Prototyping is usually the preferred ...

Imagine spending precious time and money on an idea for a medical device that didn't work right, just because the product hadn't been prototyped and tested. It wouldn't be your best day. The only way ...

Have a great idea for a new gadget and looking to move on it fast? You can—and I did—using rapid prototyping techniques. Rapid prototyping is the ability to quickly generate models using 3D computer ...

Aluminum alloy cylinder head for engine or pump, showing oil channels. On the subject of rapid prototyping, 3D printing often dominates the conversation. The speed, digital flexibility, and low ...

There exists a need for ever more accurate parts and products to be created, and to be created quickly and efficiently. One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid ...

There might seem like a wide gulf between the rapid prototyping of a project and learning a completely new electronics platform, but with the right set of tools, these two tasks can go hand-in-hand.

SAE Transactions, Vol. 112, SECTION 7: JOURNAL OF PASSENGER CARS: ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (2003), pp. 134-140 (7 pages) Embedded Software rapid prototyping methods have been used in control ...
