How to Choose

Comparison of Rapid Prototyping Technologies

Type Advantages Disadvantages
Rapid CNC Prototyping High precision and suitability for a wide range of materials. Ideal for producing functional and durable parts, often ready in just 1 day. Higher costs and longer lead times than some additive manufacturing processes, particularly for complex geometries.
Rapid Prototype Injection Molding Excellent for creating durable and consistent parts quickly, suitable for extensive testing and high-volume production. High upfront costs for molds may not be economical for small quantities or initial prototypes.
Rapid Sheet Metal Prototyping Offers fast turnaround for flat parts, ideal for prototypes that need to assess fit and form in their final material state. Limited complexity, making this method less suitable for intricate designs that demand high detail and functionality.
Rapid 3D Prototyping Extremely fast and cost-effective, allowing for complex geometries that would be challenging to achieve with traditional methods. Material properties may not always match those of parts made through traditional manufacturing, and resolution can vary by technology.
Rapid Vacuum Casting Allows for quick production of high-quality, detailed replicas, ideal for small to medium quantities with the precision of injection-molded parts. Generally better suited for non-functional prototypes or visual models, as material properties may limit their applications.
