Design is a matter of balance: weight vs. strength, cost vs. quality, speed vs. accuracy, and so on. As development progresses, prototyping is an essential part of the balancing process, and ...

In the previous article on this topic, I stated the importance of prototyping during product design and development to verify your design. I reviewed the many plastic prototyping options available to ...

Which rapid-prototyping technique works best for micromolded components? To find out, we developed a test part to send to several RP service bureaus. We designed the part to include many of the ...

Aluminum alloy cylinder head for engine or pump, showing oil channels. On the subject of rapid prototyping, 3D printing often dominates the conversation. The speed, digital flexibility, and low ...

A: Companies can achieve reductions in development cycles by up to 40%, compressing timelines from months to weeks. This is achieved by enabling rapid design iterations and facilitating early feedback ...

A critical phase during product design and development is verification of your design. Design verification can be attained either by simulation or prototyping. Prototyping is usually the preferred ...

Gavin Fabian is Chief Product Officer for HST Pathways, a leading provider of cloud-based end-to-end solutions for outpatient surgery. A common urban legend in the world of product development is that ...

Imagine spending precious time and money on an idea for a medical device that didn't work right, just because the product hadn't been prototyped and tested. It wouldn't be your best day. The only way ...

Let’s start with what it isn’t. A pilot. Pilots have historically been the default method used in the humanitarian sector when moving towards new approaches to solving problems. A pilot is, by ...

Rapid prototyping is a new approach in Digital Signal Processing systems development. With the advent of Matlab's Real Time Workshop (RTW) it is now possible to compile, load, and execute graphically ...
