How to Choose between Rapid Prototyping Techniques
When you finish a new design and would like get a prototype or low volume manufacturing to test the function and application. There are several factors you need to take into consideration for selecting the proper Rapid Prototyping Technique for your design.
What is Your Expectation for This Prototype's Quality Level?
What is your expectation for this prototype’s quality level? It is a prototype concept model, visual presentation prototype or even a functional & working prototype?
Fidelity to the final product is an important consideration too. It depends on the purpose of making this prototype.
The complexity and precision of the part is essential. For complexity and precision part, you will need a highly-precise Rapid Prototyping technology to manufacture it.
Does your product needed in specific material properties? Like, should your prototype made of robust material or be in flexible and soft? The properties required will clearly influence your choice of rapid prototyping technique.
The desired quantity is a critical topic which bears on the technologies selection, which will direct effect on your budget.
