Rapid prototyping is where we take the design we made on the computer and bring it to life and make a physical model/prototype. This model is great because we can see how we want the product to look and function before we commit to many versions of it. Additive manufacturing, more commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that constructs objects one layer at a time. It begins with a digital file and adds material layer by layer. That means melding together quick prototyping and personalised 3d printing to form models much faster than the older processes that take ages
A big advantage of 3D printing is that it allows us to get more creative with our designs. There are often limits to how complex a shape can be with traditional methods. They can only execute simple shapes and designs which is really limiting and frustrating when we have lofty ideas. But thanks to custom 3d printing, we are able to produce very intricate and complex shapes that would be difficult or even impossible to create with other methods. This fluidity allows us to leverage, explore, and extend the boundaries of product development
It also allows us to iterate our designs more swiftly as we can make changes on the fly. If we want to create a different design, it’s extremely easy to revise the digital file and print another prototype. We don't need to build new molds or tools which takes a lot of time and work. Prototyping allows us to build these ability rapidly; we can iterate almost immediately and respond to outside feedback where needed. It tries to make sure that we ultimately end up with the best possible product that serves the needs of all.
It helps boost the project in any next step—Initial design and detailed model in the computer are heavily important when we want to go start rapid prototyping projects. This model is similar to a blueprint or guide that we use to create the prototype and assists us in the process of 3d for printing. We can then select the optimum 3D printing technology and materials for our project once we finalize our design.
There are various real-life examples demonstrating the rapid prototyping using 3D printing and are highly successful. For example, doctors employ 3D printing to manufacture custom implants and prosthetics tailor-made to each person. This enhances the quality of care for patients and is a tangible difference in their lives. Architects and engineers use 3D printing as well to produce scale models of buildings and structures. It enables them to test their design ideas and identify any potential issues before work starts, which can be a big time- and money-saver.
