Design is a matter of balance: weight vs. strength, cost vs. quality, speed vs. accuracy, and so on. As development progresses, prototyping is an essential part of the balancing process, and ...

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 ...

These prototypes serve as invaluable assets for design verification and testing before full-scale production. Industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical, among others, leverage CNC machining ...

In the previous article on this topic, I stated the importance of prototyping during product design and development to verify your design. I reviewed the many plastic prototyping options available to ...

The ZBuilder Ultra makes high-end functional plastic prototypes. The unit is said to rival injection molding’s accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish. The machine lets users verify ...

The material is for medical, food, and pharmaceutical prototyping and production applications. ABS-M30i offers mechanical-property improvements over standard ABS including tensile, impact, and ...

create the object can be costly and time-consuming. So, it wasn’t all that far-fetched for Lantz, president of A. Rifkin Co., such as computer-aided design, or CAD, models. He’s taking it a step ...

Barren walls surround a two-room suite at the back end of a factory near downtown. Little else is there besides a table with a scattering of plastic and metal trinkets manufactured by the room’s only ...

"So essentially what we're trying to do now is really combine science, technology, innovation, and business." Researchers ...
