What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is the technical process of quickly transforming product concepts into physical models. Its main purpose is to rapidly manufacture parts for actual manual inspection and review. This early model is called a “prototype”, which is continuously improved and iterated until the final correct version is obtained.
All rapid prototyping begins with digital models, and 3D printing is usually the preferred method for rapid prototyping because 3D printed prototypes are affordable, typically within a few tens of dollars, and can be obtained within 3 days. Other common rapid prototyping processes include CNC machining, vacuum casting, and sheet metal fabrication.
Rapid Prototyping With Boyi
Boyi provides a variety of rapid manufacturing processes for quickly and economically prototyping. Although there are many methods for making a single prototype, the final choice of technology and materials depends on the engineer, and meeting their product requirements is the most critical.
Rapid CNC Machining Prototyping
Boyi is able to quickly produce CNC machining prototypes for plastic or metal parts. Many CNC machined parts can be manufactured and shipped within 3 days. The CNC expedited option was provided in the quotation, and Boyi has cost-effectiveness and market pricing, allowing engineers to order multiple prototypes at once for quick product evaluation.
