Prototyping Checklist: How to Choose Abstract: Today there are many prototyping technologies to support the full development cycle of a product from initial idea to manufacturing full-scale parts to low-volume production. These technologies can help you with concept modeling, functional testing, production of manufacturing tools, such as jigs and fixtures, and production of molds or thermoformingmasters. Read this brief overview about the advantages and disadvantages for two of the most popular additive technologies used for prototyping and production.
After more than two decades of research, development and use, the additive manufacturing industry continues to expand with the introduction of new technologies, methods and applications. Additive processes have had a tremendous impact on design and manufacturing, and this impact will continue to grow in the coming years.
