What is rapid prototyping and How Does it Work?

Rapid prototyping creates quick physical models from 3D CAD data. It uses additive manufacturing or 3D printing. Parts are built layer by layer. This allows fast design verification and testing. It also improves design communication.

The process starts with a 3D CAD model. It is sliced into thin layers. This data goes to the prototyping machine. The machine builds the part layer by layer. Technologies include SLA, SLS, FDM, and CNC machining. Each uses different materials and processes. This creates prototypes with varying accuracy and properties.

 

Advantages of Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping offers several key benefits for product development:   

  • Quickly create and test multiple design variations
  • Identify and resolve design flaws early in the process.
  • Evaluate prototype performance and functionality.
  • Clearly communicate design intent to stakeholders.
  • Accelerate time-to-market with faster prototyping cycles.
  • Minimize tooling costs in initial design phases.  
Rapid Prototyping Applications

Rapid Prototyping FAQs

How much does rapid prototyping cost?

Rapid prototyping costs vary depending on part complexity, order quantity, and required lead time, with prices starting around $65. The best way to get an accurate price is to submit your 3D CAD model for an instant quote that includes design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback. Our proprietary software and automated processes eliminate upfront non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs, making quantities from 1 to 200 parts cost-effective. While prices are comparable to or slightly higher than 3D printing, rapid prototyping often provides superior material properties and surface finishes.

A wide variety of materials can be used, depending on the chosen technology. Common materials include:

  • Plastics: ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, PLA, PETG, PEEK
  • Metals: Aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, copper, brass
  • Resins: Epoxy resins, photopolymers

The material selection depends on the desired properties of the prototype, such as strength, flexibility, temperature resistance, and surface finish.

Rapid prototyping is beneficial in several situations:

  • Early design stages: To visualize and evaluate design concepts.
  • Form and fit testing: To verify the physical dimensions and assembly of parts.
  • Functional testing: To assess the performance and functionality of a design.
  • Proof of concept: To demonstrate the feasibility of a new idea or technology.
  • Marketing and sales: To create visual aids and samples for presentations and demonstrations.

Rapid prototyping offers several key advantages:

  • Faster design cycles: Quickly iterate on designs and accelerate time-to-market.
  • Reduced development costs: Identify and fix design flaws early, minimizing costly rework later.
  • Improved design communication: Tangible prototypes facilitate better communication among designers, engineers, and clients.
  • Enhanced product quality: Thorough testing and refinement lead to improved product performance and reliability.
  • Early functional testing: Evaluate prototype functionality and identify potential issues before production.

Most rapid prototyping projects can be completed in a matter of days, and we offer fast global delivery. If you require a precise lead time, please submit your project to get a free quotation and lead time information at the same time.
