YS Professional Rapid Prototyping Service

Making precision rapid prototyping part of your product is essential to ensure successful product development. It involves utilizing advanced manufacturing technologies and techniques to produce highly accurate and detailed prototypes. These prototypes are crucial for design validation, functional testing, and iterative development.

Working with professional rapid prototyping services is key to achieving the desired outcomes. By partnering with a skilled firm, you can ensure that the process is quick, precise and cost effective. They should have the ability to deliver prototypes with accurate tolerances based on your specifications. Furthermore, they should provide assistance in material selection, design, engineering, machining and finishing to ensure your product is produced according to the highest standards. With their help, you can create a reliable and durable rapid prototype quickly and efficiently.

1. According to the effect of the prototype required, it can be divided into Appearance prototype, Structural prototype and Functional prototype:

(1) Appearance prototype: It is mainly used to check the product’s appearance, which requires exquisite appearance, excellent surface finishing & color, appropriate size, shape, and so on.

(2) Structural prototype: It is mainly created to verify the structural rationality of the product, which can be assembled with electronic components, pcb board,wire, etc. Structural prototype has high requirements on dimension and relatively low requirements for surface treatment.

(3) Functional prototype: It can be also called working prototype, which integrates the materials, strength, tolerance, assembly, work mechanisms, manufacturing feasibility, etc. It is required to be most similar function,structure and visual look to the final product.

2. According to manufacturing ways, rapid prototype can be divided into Manual Prototyping & NC Prototyping

(1) Manual prototyping: Some simple prototypes can be manually made with plastic, foam, plastic, paper, wood, and other materials,such rapid prototypes are low-precision, easy making and inexpensive.

(2) NC prototyping (numerical control Prototyping): according to different equipment, it can be divided into LRP prototyping & CNC prototyping.

a. 3D printing prototyping: it is a new manufacturing technology that integrates advanced technologies such as CAD, CAM, CNC, laser, precision servo drive and new materials. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, it has the following features: high re-productabliity and interchangeability; the manufacturing process are not limited by the geometry of the product; Short lead time--the production time is shorten by 70%; Low cost---The general manufacturing cost is reduced by 50%;

b. CNC Prototyping: It is more high accuracy prototyping using modern machining tools, it is usually made by CNC Milling Machining, CNC lathing, CNC cutting, etc. CNC Prototyping has the advantage of high accuracy, high quality and wide use of materials from plastic to metal.

3. According to materials used, rapid prototype can be divided into Plastic Prototype, Silicone/Rubber Prototype and Metal Prototype:

(1) Plastic prototype: The main material is plastic, such as ABS, PC, POM, PET, Ultem, PTFE, Nylon, PEEK and so on, which were mainly used for making the prototypes of the plastic products, such as computer, printer, air conditioner, telephone, display, television, and so on.

(2) Silicone/Rubber Prototypes: It is mainly made by Vacuum Casting or Silicone compression molding, which is used for protective case, membrane, cover, cleaning parts, sealing, and so on.

(3) Metal Prototype: The main material are aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, stainless steel, carbon steel, etc. Metal prototypes are usually manufactured by cnc machining, cnc turning, sheet metal & laser cutting, etc. Metal prototypes are used for a wide variety of industries such as automotive, home appliances, medical devices, computer, vending machines, and so on.

Rapid prototyping service has revolutionized the product development process by providing a quick and efficient way to create physical prototypes of designs. This technology utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques to rapidly produce three-dimensional models, allowing designers and engineers to test and evaluate their ideas before proceeding to full-scale production.

The primary objective of rapid prototyping is to accelerate the product development cycle by reducing time and costs associated with traditional prototyping methods. It enables designers to bring their concepts to life in a matter of days or weeks, rather than months or years. This expedites the overall design iteration process and facilitates faster decision-making.

Professional Rapid Prototyping Services offer expertise, advanced technologies, cost savings, material options, quality, and scalability to the table, enabling customers to benefit from high-quality prototypes while focusing on their core competencies and speeding up their product development process. YS Rapid is the one who is professional in super quality rapid prototyping service to customers from all over the world. No matter how complex the job is, we make it simple and perfect for you.

Precision rapid prototyping and 3D printing are related concepts, but they are not exactly the same thing.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a specific technology within the broader field of rapid prototyping. It is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer based on a digital model. 3D printing encompasses various techniques, including fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), and more.

On the other hand, precision rapid prototyping refers to the overall approach and goal of achieving highly accurate and precise prototypes. While 3D printing can be used as a method for precision rapid prototyping, there are other techniques and processes available that can also achieve precise results.

Precision rapid prototyping can involve different methods, such as CNC machining, which uses computer-controlled milling or cutting to shape a prototype from a solid block of material. This technique is known for its high precision and accuracy, particularly for functional prototypes made from metals or other durable materials.

Other techniques used in precision rapid prototyping include laser cutting, vacuum casting, and injection molding, which can also produce accurate prototypes with tight tolerances.

In summary, 3D printing is one specific technology used in rapid prototyping, while precision rapid prototyping refers to the broader goal of achieving highly accurate and precise prototypes, which can be accomplished through various techniques, including but not limited to 3D printing.
