Rapid Prototyping

3D prototyping is an experimental process where design teams implement ideas into tangible forms from digital to a real 3D printed prototype. Teams build prototypes of varying degrees of fidelity to capture design concepts and perform a real-life tests. With prototypes, you can refine and validate your complex designs so you release the right products or parts to the market

One of our cases

Our team is proud to have contributed to the creation of a satellite prototype for sustaining life in space – ORBIT NTNU BioSat.   Orbit NTNU’s BioSat will push the boundaries of space exploration by bringing a  seed to space. The satellite will have advanced technology and subsystems specifically designed for the challenging environment to keep sufficient humidity

Advantages of 3D rapid prototyping

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-cost reduction

Cost reduction

3D prototype can reduce expenses related to traditional design procedures such as machining, tooling, and modeling.

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-Risk reduction

Risk Reduction

3D prototype reduces the risk associated with designing and releasing new products by allowing for testing and validation prior to mass production.

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-ability to expirement

Ability to Experiment

3D prototyping enables the production and testing of several working components, allowing design teams to research various design choices and choose the optimal design for the project.

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-approval from stakeholders

Approval from stakeholders

3D prototyping creates a physical product prototype that can be shown to stakeholders, including investors or management, to receive their approval or comments for redesigning

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-design validation

Design Validation

3D prototype enables design validation before mass manufacturing starts, decreasing the possibility of mistakes or design defects in the final result.

Smart factory-rapid prototyping-time to market improvement

Time-to-market Improvement

3D prototyping shortens the time it takes to develop and launch a new product by allowing design teams to swiftly construct and test several variations of a design.
