What is The Role of Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing in Product Designing?
by Hydrovern Heroes The Hydrovern HeroesSummary: Fabricators use CAD technology for rapid prototyping. The technology makes the process transparent so that the designers can make it flawless.
Rapid prototyping manufacturing is now done with computer-aided designs. Fabricators no more work with hammers, cutters, and welding tools. Now they have better machines that are fully automated.
What is a computer-aided design?
Prototype making involves designing. You have a blueprint of the product whose prototype you need to make. But instead of starting cutting the design out of a metal sheet, you can design it in CAD software that will create a 3D design of the product. And this design will be perfect.
It is called CNC machining prototyping because the machines used in fabrication are guided by computers. The biggest advantage of using CAD is removing errors. You can see all errors in a 3D design and remove them before taking the design to the manufacturing process. The prototype designed with CAD will be 100% perfect.
Advantages of computerized metal fabrication
1. Consulting
You want to make a product and you believe that the product will work as planned. You have the blueprint of the product and now you want to check the real product by making a prototype. Here an experienced metal fabricator can help. He can give his opinion on the design before making a prototype of the product.
2. Quality
Technology has made it easier to control quality in rapid prototyping manufacturing. You can check everything related to quality before cutting the design from a piece of metal. The technology provides you an opportunity to improve the design before making its prototype so that you get what you are looking for.
3. Time-saving
If you study the prototype making step by step, you will find that it saves time in the long run. First, you make a 3D design where you can check whether the design has any flaws. If it has flaws, you can improve the design to make it perfect. In the second step, you will use automated machines that will cut the design in accurate size.
4. Cost saving
With CNC machining prototyping, you can rest assured that the prototype created is what you want the product to be. It will be a flawless design and you will get it on the first attempt. In other words, there will be no wastage of material or labor.
5. Confidence
You will have more confidence in your product. The prototype designing will remove all the errors like human errors. The process will give you confidence that you can go ahead with your design and make the best product.
