Introduction to Rapid Prototyping
Product Development Process
Global Product Development
It is a corporation between different companies and at different geographical location in a product development cycle
CAD Data Exchange Format
STL
IGES
STEP
AMF
Planning for Prototype
Step 1: Define the purpose
Step 2: Establish level of approximation of prototype
How close should the prototype be to the final product
physical or analytical
Step 3: Outline an Experimental Plan
Prototyping is experimental
Ensure good and enough data are collected
Plan the experiment
Step 4: Create a schedule for procurement, construction and test
Treat prototyping as a sub project
apply project management skill
Types of Prototype
Physical
Focus
Comprehensive
Analytical
Purpose of Prototype
Learning
Answer questioning on design
The prototype focus on certain areas
Communication
Demonstration of product for feedback
Test Market Demand
Integration
Combination of sub-systems into model
Assemble electronic devices to the parts
Milestone
Goal for development team's schedule
It will reduce design errors for production
