Prototypes
Why should you prototype?
- prototyping can speed up the development of your project by permitting problem solving and troubleshooting at an early stage,
- prototyping helps you confirm the integrity of CAD data and the soundness of the design
Do you really need to spend the money on a prototype?
The answer is Yes if you want to:
- eliminate the risk of a need to spend resources (and money) correcting tooling after the product is in production.
and - gain peace of mind and confidence in the product before allocating precious capital to the production tooling.
What other benefits will you get?
- Prototypes can be made from materials, that simulate the production material
- A prototype lets you make vital decisions about the performance of the final product
- A prototype lets you test the mechanical and aesthetic qualities of the design
- Prototype batches can be produced for use in pre-production runs of your own productÂ
- Prototypes can be produced in small batches for market trials in order to gain valuable feedback before committing to full production
