Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Simplified

by Hydrovern Heroes The Hydrovern Heroes

Summary: Plastic injection moulding is the best technology for rapid prototyping because it removes the error and trial methods.


If you are still following the error and trial methods for manufacturing, you are denying yourself the fruits of rapid prototyping and manufacturing technology. The way you are making prototypes of products is time-consuming and it increases the overall cost of the products.


What is prototyping?


It is a sample of a fresh product. You have the design on paper where you have marked everything in great detail and now you want experienced workers to mold plastic into the shape mentioned on the blueprint. While an experienced worker can try keeping the prototype as accurate as possible, human error is always expected.


What is the new technology?


The new technology is called plastic injection moulding and it involves using a computer program. A software program reads the design and creates a computer-aided design for further study. It shows the design from different angles. You can check the size and features and determine their functionality. If you want to make any changes to the design, it is the right time.


Once a design is final, it is sent for production where computer-aided machines do the job. And you will be surprised to know that the prototype design is 100% accurate. You will get the exact design and size as developed by the software. And you can rest assured that it will be the final prototype as you have ample time and opportunities to make changes on the computer instead of on the product.


How to get the technology?


You don’t have to worry about investing in rapid prototype and manufacturing as there are many engineering companies that can do the job for you. And it won’t be an expensive affair. On the contrary, the technology would save you dollars in the long run.


Highlights of the latest prototype technology


1. Safe


It is the biggest benefit of technology. It keeps things safe. Your raw material would be safe. Also, your workers won’t have to deal with fast-moving tools. They can easily monitor the manufacturing process remotely. Since everything is computer-aided, you need to focus on the computer.


2. Affordable


Plastic injection moulding is more affordable than the regular process that wastes lots of working hours and raw material. With the latest technology, you can make changes to the computer-aided design and get the right prototype in the first attempt. But the traditional method doesn’t give any prior idea of the prototype design.


3. Fast Production


The production becomes faster when you achieve accuracy. Once a prototype is final, you can allow the machines to work overtime and start production. The machines would give quick results without stretching your workers. On the contrary, you can find better use of your staff.
