With advances in technology around additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing or rapid prototyping), there’s been a large increase in that approach when it comes to prototyping unique parts in the industry. Prices for 3D printers are no longer restrictive. My 3 brothers all have them at home now. Once my kids get older I guarantee…
In the ever-evolving manufacturing environment, precision and efficiency are crucial. Mold making, a key industry of CNC machining, demands innovative solutions for intricate shapes and exact dimensions. Fusion, equipped with a versatile toolkit, is at the leading edge of mold making. It offers strategies to streamline processes and raise quality standards. Check out these 3D…
Prior to the introduction of CAD, prototyping was comprised of the following phases:IdeaHand Drawn SketchHand CalculationsPhysical PrototypeTestingData AnalysisRepeat steps 2-6….most likely several times In today’s world, CAD and other significant technology improvements have changed the prototyping process. The “digital prototype” can provide significant cost savings by shortening the design cycle. This is done by creating…
The Advancement of Prototyping The practice of prototyping has been a staple in any engineering and manufacturing practice since the dawn of mass scale production. The process of idea, design iterations, pre-production, and final mass production is a cycle that needs to be carefully managed and controlled to avoid catastrophic supply, finance, and other economic…
