3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping

3D Printing or Rapid Prototyping refers to the technology that builds physical models layer by layer from 3D CAD data (Computer-Aided Design). Rapid Prototyping is a cost effective technology that allows engineers, product developers, industrial designers or people with a novel idea to get prototypes made faster, cheaper and more accurately. 

The benefits include:

• More design review cycles
  Test a greater number of options within the design time frame
• Functional prototypes for early verification
  Check the form, fit and function or your design within days.
• Early market feedback
  Gain feedback from your targeted market before investing in expensive tooling.
• Reduce development time and cost
  In comparison to traditional design methods, the use of rapid prototyping for product development reduces time to market by 70% – 90% and cost to market by 40% – 60%.
