Look around you and picture how life used to be in the iron or Stone age. While the basic needs of human beings might not have changed much, there is more deliberate effort of living a comfortable life. Machines, equipment, gadgets and generally technology have made necessary human survival tasks quite manageable.
Engineers and product developers are the brains behind all this simplicity we enjoy. They think of the world as needy in areas of technology and in time they will think up an idea for something that will cause us to use less energy and less time.
How long does it take to identify a problem, think of an idea for a solution and develop a prototype of the solution? Well, assuming that we have already thought up an idea, 24 hours! That is if we make use of polymer and metal 3D printing for rapid prototyping.
What is Rapid Prototyping?
This is the process that turns your idea into a tangible reality in only a few hours or days. Through the employment of CNC machining, Injection Molding and 3D Printing technologies, companies like Rapid Direct can develop a prototype in record time and at an affordable rate. With a tangible idea in your hand, it becomes easy to make modifications and recommendations of how to further lower production costs.
What does this technology mean to your company?
When dealing with a company that uses Rapid Prototyping to bring your ideas to life, it is possible to maintain a lean workforce until it is time to expand. How many people does it take to cook up an idea in the head? Honesty, not many because this is a stage where family and friends can chip in to grow your business. If you do not know how to draw, you can employ an artist to put the sketch down on paper.
The process of building your prototype does not end there. Once you have taken the step to bring the prototype to actualization, it is now time to get advice from the experts. Their team of professionals guides you on the future of the prototype. If you want to take it to full-scale production, their network of contacts comes in handy.
Rapid Prototyping removes the jitters out of trying out a new solution for life’s numerous challenges. Perfection is the name of the game and here you achieve it from the first step.
