Concept

Rapid prototyping may be used at any time to inform the design process. 3D printing is an affordable way to accomplish this.

Rapid prototyping may be achieved using a variety of approaches. These should be chosen strategically according to XM Prototyping Strategy

3D scanning
3D printing - plastic additive
3D printing - ceramic baking
Box beams with prepared holes
CNC router with wood or plastic
CNC milling in metal
Non-Lamindated Machine Design - Rapid prototyping of CNC metal cutouts + welding
CircuitLab - For rapid prototyping, testing, and documentation of circuits
Laser cutting of paper cutouts
