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. |
