What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a pivotal approach in product development, leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies like CNC machining to swiftly produce numerous component versions for hands-on assessment and scrutiny. But, it’s the craft of crafting parts at an accelerated pace to facilitate tangible evaluations. CNC machining often becomes the go-to for rapid prototyping given its precise output and cost-effectiveness, with typical prototypes ranging from $10-70 and an impressive completion window of 1-3 business days. Beyond CNC machining, other prevalent prototyping methods encompass sheet metal fabrication, rapid injection molding, and 3D printing.
The essence of rapid prototyping lies in its swiftness and cost-efficiency, empowering engineers to simultaneously produce diverse prototype designs or swiftly iterate upon a single procedure. These preliminary models guide design choices before escalating to intricate models for functional testing and final production.
Choosing Between Rapid Prototyping Processes
When engineers and product designers grapple with the need for swift prototyping online solutions to accelerate their product evolution, Shengen emerges as a beacon, providing an array of speedy manufacturing methods tailored for prompt and cost-effective prototypes. Amidst the myriad choices available for creating that perfect prototype, the engineer must pinpoint the optimal process and material for their masterpiece. In the evolving prototyping landscape, CNC machining has surged as the darling of the engineering community, carving parts with precision from a vast spectrum of metals and plastics, blending speed with affordability.
Rapid CNC Machining
Rapid CNC Machining is the benchmark for prototypes that necessitate an evaluation of their ultimate material when crafted from dense stock. At Shengen, we masterfully maneuver an extensive spectrum of metals. Our CNC-machined components are often ready for shipment within mere days. Should urgency be of the essence, Shengen offers expedited CNC solutions at the quoting stage. Our economical, market-driven pricing empowers innovators to procure multiple prototypes simultaneously, fueling swift product assessment.
Rapid Sheet Metal Fabrication
Rapid sheet metal fabrication emerges as the prime choice for those in urgent need of flat parts for prototyping in their final metal finish. This method assures quick turnarounds, often within a week, and aligns with budget constraints, enabling simultaneous production of multiple prototype designs. While Aluminum 5052 is the top pick for such swift prototyping, our arsenal at Shengen extends to diverse alloys, including steel, copper, and stainless steel.
Regarding delivery, rapid sheet metal parts match the pace of CNC machined parts but outpace 3D-printed ones. However, similar to CNC processes, sheet metal fabrication demands added machine preparations and operation durations.
