How to Explain Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Process?
by Hydrovern Heroes The Hydrovern HeroesSummary:
Manufacturing and marketing of new products become easier if you involve rapid
prototyping and manufacturing that involves the use of the latest 3D
technology.
New products are being launched at a faster pace
with rapid prototyping and manufacturing by machines. The latest
technology has reduced both the production time and cost of the new products
and for this reason, the market is full of reliable products at an affordable
price.
Manufacturers sharing
profits….
Costs of new products are reduced not as a
price-cutting measure to capture a large market share but as profit sharing
with customers. For example, if a manufacturer saves $10 on a product, he can
share $2 with his customers. This measure will reduce his profit margin
slightly but it could be a big step towards capturing a larger share in the
market.
The technology that is helping manufacturers is
called plastic injection moulding and it involves the use of
computer-operated machines. To understand the process in detail, you need to go
through all the stages of production of a specific product.
First Stage: It is called the design stage where
the design of a product is discussed by the designers. They discuss everything
including size, weight, features, and functions in detail to make sure that the
finished product is approved by the stakeholders and accepted by the targeted
customers.
Second Stage: It is the most important stage as the
design is sent for making a prototype of the product to be launched. Earlier
prototypes were produced with handheld tools that often give inaccurate
results. But today rapid prototyping and manufacturing technology gives
accurate results with little waste.
The advantage of the latest technology is that it
provides total control over the process. You see the design in a 3D image where
you can see all the features. Also, you can test the functionality of the
prototype to make sure that it works well. And if you find any anomaly in the
design, you can make the necessary changes.
Third Stage: The design is complete and ready for plastic
injection moulding. You can send the design for prototyping to get a
prototype of the product you want to launch. A computer will prepare the sample
using precision tools. And the sample will be the exact replica of the 3D
design created on the computer.
Now you have the prototype that you can take to the
shareholders of your company and the targeted audience for quick feedback. And
you can rest assured that you will get positive feedback from the investors and
the market. Elated with the feedback, you can go ahead with your product
launch.
