Physical models convey ideas to
collaborators, clients and marketers in ways computer models cant, rapid
prototyping facilitates the clear, detailed feedback essential to
product success, and lets designers quickly respond to input. Test in

Design iteratively
No matter what you design, you almost
never achieve a flawless product right out of the gate. Rigorous
testing, evaluation and refinement are the best means to assess what
works and what doesnt. Rapid prototyping with 3D printing provides the
flexibility required to make this crucial trial and error process
possible for physical products.
Reduce scrap and reworkIn general, the
later a problem is discovered, the more costly it will be to correct.
Finding and fixing problems early in the design cycle is essential to
preventing scrap, rework and retooling. Rapid prototyping with 3D
printing allows industrial designers and engineers more revisions in
less time, so they can test thoroughly while still reducing time to
market.
Know exactly how your products will look and perform before investing in
tooling.
A wide range of 3D printing materials can produce tough functional prototypes for highly accurate
performance testing, or realistic models
that look and feel like your finished products. Photopolymers,
thermoplastics, metals and composite materials provide a full spectrum
of material properties, many of which withstand secondary processes like
sealing, polishing, painting, metallization or electroplating 3d
printer.
3D printed prototyping is quite simply
revolutionizing product design. The ability to turn your vision into
reality in a matter of hours not only accelerates the manufacturing
cycle, it also means that you have more time and opportunities to
perfect design before production. Get your designs experienced the way
they deserve, that the powerful advantage of Stratasys rapid
prototyping.
