Prototyping is an indispensible part of product designing and development
. The product as tangible entity should have appropriate design and functionality to suit its existence. The process of prototyping defines the proper functionality and structure of the product as it goes to other phases for its development.
Prototyping earlier was nothing but just a hand made drawing and engineers indulged in this profession were made to learn the art of drawing the prototype regardless of its complexity. Thus, very often the prototype of the product failed to achieve accuracy as the result of which the product that comes out had some or the other problems in its functioning.
Later, to increase the accuracy of the product development team started taking care while following the generated prototype. But the results didnt improved much, and then there was a revolutionary change in the prototyping field i.e. the launch of CAD softwares in the market have changed the whole prototyping scenario and soon the prototyping technique was changed to Rapid Prototyping.
The era of Rapid Prototyping helped lots of people around the globe to give their business a new turn and invent some new products which seemed to be impossible while following the earlier method. Almost, every product development firm around the world adapted the new change. Unlike the earlier prototyping technique now even small businesses can afford prototyping solutions. The technique improved the prototype accuracy as well as also made this technique quite affordable.
This technique made the process of product development much faster and reliable. Then, with changing times and advancement in technological solutions came the concept of 3D Rapid Prototyping. This is the on going prototyping technique and has changed the outlook of prototyping again. Now the designers can make the 3D Prototype of the product i.e. the generated prototype have the same look and feel of the original product.
Numbers of engineering firms all over the globe are indulging in the service of product design and development but very few of them have been able to make a global footprint. And the only reasons behind the successful firms and others are the use and implementation of the latest ongoing technology which is 3D Rapid Prototyping . Providing the prototyping solutions in the best possible is what defines the working quality of the service because in this very field the only thing that matters the most is the proper product design and prototyping is the cardinal part of it.
