Hvad er Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a specialized manufacturing technique for high-quality physical models with 3D design concepts. Prototypes are very useful in design development and improvement process as a significant basis for production or engineering testing. Prototyping is quick and economic for both personal companies and research institutions in that they never need to invest in hard tooling equipment.
Speed and affordability are the key essences for rapid prototyping. As its name shows, it emphasizes a fast turnaround. So it’s expected to produce a physical part in a short time to validate the design, then capture business chances.
Advantages of Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping services can confer abundant benefits for you and your business. Its outstanding advantages are as follows:
Your designs or ideas will be visualized by design for manufacturability (DFM) in a fast and cost-effective manner so that you can easily grasp the design of a product and business opportunities in the physical world.
Improved evaluation and functional testing of the product will be achieved by reiterating designs. Your product can be optimized before taking it to the market.
The small-volume prototyping run helps to minimize the costly design flaws. And it can be time-saving by eliminating the need for setup and tooling.
Being able to produce various prototypes with different colors, surface textures, and finishing processes.
Main Prototyping Services Runsom Offers
All rapid prototyping projects start with digital models but there can be various options for the fabrication process. It is ultimately up to engineers to determine which process and material are best suited to desired parts. The following are the main prototyping services we offer:
This is a conventional prototyping method as well as a widespread way for metal prototyping. Runsom has rich experience for 10 years in various CNC prototype manufacturing in many industries, such as automotive, electronics, energy, medical, etc.
CNC machining prototyping will provide the best precision and surface finishes. In addition, the selection of materials is unlimited as well. Otherwise, CNC machining will take a long time to prepare and set up, so we always apply this technology for high precision and metal material prototypes.
- CNC Milling — making rapid prototypes from plastic and metal;
- CNC Turning — turning all types of round components;
- CNC Grinding — achieving tighter tolerance and precisely flat surface.
Different 3D printing technologies are suitable for different rapid prototyping steps as a pioneer in this industry.
For instance, SLA prototyping requires liquid plastic material and may provide the best finish surface; SLS prototyping is similar to SLA, but the material form needs to be power. FDM prototyping is the cheapest and fastest method in 3D printing technology. This additive prototyping process will finish a complete prototype part within one day. However, 3D printing materials are too expensive for the manufacturing process.
- FDM — cost-saving plastic parts prototyping；
- SLA — Plastic parts prototyping with outstanding surface finish；
- SLS — Strong prototyping parts in nylon or nylon glass；
- SLM — Metal parts prototyping in steel or titanium.
Rapid injection molding is a manufacturing process for the production of repeatable parts with strict material requirements or mechanical needs that cannot be met in additive manufacturing or machining. It is a valuable choice for the demand of the same parts needing to be created thousands or even millions of times in succession.
Injection molding has been a popular process for high-production runs because of the decreased price-per-part along with consistent quality of the manufactured parts. Runsom can cut your product development cycle by weeks even months, allowing you to get your injection molded prototypes as soon as possible. Our engineers will evaluate your 3D CAD online to give you valuable design and pricing analysis.
Rapid Die Casting
Die casting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is poured or forced into a mold cavity under high pressure.
Die casting prototyping technology is different from CNC machining and 3D printing in the manufacturing process. As we notice, die casting prototyping needs an additional modeling process, so it won’t be as fast as CNC machining and 3D printing. Otherwise, for customers' special requirements, we generally apply this technology for metal prototypes property tests for certain purposes.
