Practices

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
  • Laser cutting of thin wood cutouts

Entities

  • Ponoko - connecting digital fabrication and design
  • Techshop - prototyping facility
  • TinkerCAD - online design tool
