What is Rapid Prototyping?
In the United States, rapid prototyping is commonly used for product development. This approach enables the creation of product models and the manufacture of custom parts through various rapid manufacturing techniques. Among these, rapid CNC machining is the most popular and precise method for prototyping. Other methods include rapid sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing (such as SLS or SLA prototypes), and rapid sheet metal machining.

You can test the marketability of your product by creating prototypes and making any necessary design changes. Once the prototype has been tested and validated, you can proceed to the production stage. This process can be applied across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, defense, robotics, and more.

Tolerance For Rapid Prototyping
Tolerance standards for rapid prototypes can vary based on the specific needs and requirements of the prototyping process and the prototype itself. Generally, these standards are looser than those used in mass production, as prototypes are primarily utilized for testing, evaluation, and final production rather than for mass manufacturing.

When designing prototypes, tolerance is a critical consideration, and it is essential to clearly communicate the tolerance requirements to ensure that the prototype meets the necessary specifications. Factors such as the complexity of the part, the type of material used, and the production method can all influence tolerance levels.
