What is Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping quickly converts early-stage design concepts into physical models, offering a fast and cost-effective way to see ideas in reality. This approach is particularly effective through technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and more, with the ability to deliver prototypes typically within 1-3 business days.
Opting for prototyping is essential for speeding up the design process while reducing the financial and operational risks associated with new product development. It enables thorough testing and refinement of designs, ensuring that each iteration is an improvement on the previous one. This process is critical for making informed decisions early in the development cycle, minimizing the risk of expensive alterations later on.
