The process of manufacturing is evolving day by day and therefore, companies are striving to launch new products. In this competitive environment, the manufacturing is looking for effective options that will require the shortest time possible. Prototyping is one of the best ways to develop a product quickly. These 3D models are made using the CAD design provided by the customers. The process of additive manufacturing is used to create high-quality prototypes. Additive manufacturing is a technology through which 3D printed parts are manufactured. The process involves combining layers of materials. Almost every industry including Aerospace, General Engineering, Tooling, Energy, Architecture, Automobile, etc. needs prototypes. Hence, additive manufacturing is adopted by various industries to produce prototypes.
A prototyping firm provides construction and designing of new products in various industries. Incredible AM Pvt. Ltd. specialized in this concept and offers an excellent prototype. This process also involves testing the functions of 3d Printed parts under severe & desired conditions.
Bringing Your Ideas to Reality
Before reaching the step of producing the end products, the process of creating prototypes proves to be very valuable. It helps you envision your final product, test every aspect, and gauge its potential. It is a tool to transform your vision into reality. Rapid prototyping will provide you with accurate models and make your design process easier. You will be able to have the part in your hands even before manufacturing of the tools. The parts then can undergo testing same as the actual parts and iterations in the design can be made before moving to tooling of the parts.
Many of the die casting industries are realizing the benefits of Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing and opting for prototyping of their parts in design phase. This helps the designer evaluate critical aspects of the parts and loss can be prevented.
Aspects to Consider Before Rapid Prototyping
- Study the detailed specifications to create precise models plus it will save a lot of your time and money. It will also help you decide the specifications of your end product
- Understand that you will have to revise the prototype several times as your process is at the initial stage. Hence, the features and functions are going to be constantly refined
- Since rapid prototyping involves a lot of revision it is important that documents are maintained for every single detail at each stage. This will even help while assembling the final product.
Incredible’s Process of Rapid Prototyping
- Step 1: The first step is to create the CAD models and send them to the designing team to ensure the specifications and dimensions are accurate
- Step 2: Once Incredible receives your CAD models it’s feasibility is analyzed with their technology and then pre-processing activities are commenced
- Step 3: After that, the actual prototypes are printed through the process of additive manufacturing
- Step 4: The prototypes are processed using the stress-relieving heat treatment
- Step 5: Further, post-processing activities are conducted like support removal, bead blasting, machining, ultrasonic cleaning, etc
- Step 6: Prototypes are packed and shipped for delivery
Benefits of Rapid Prototyping
- Reduction in part supply chain
- Reduction in cost reduction by 60%
- Reduction in Time by 80%
- Prototype & small Batch quantity
- Reduction in the procurement of tooling
- Minimizes flaws
- Revise the features and functions easily
- Multiple Iterations in design in comparatively lesser time frame.
