From Prototypes to Product Launch: Questions to Consider
Prototypes are ideal for testing an idea, improving on the look and feel of a design and for getting a sense of how the market is going to respond. After all, most successful crowdfunding campaigns have started off with prototypes that brought an enthusiastic response which helped fund more development work. But it’s at this […]
What You Can Learn From Red Dot Design Award Winners
Every year we help to bring hundreds of unique product ideas to life, so we’ve learned a few things about what it takes to create successful products. Some of the designs we’ve worked on have been recognized at robotics competitions, as innovative smart home solutions, and as international design winners. You can learn a lot […]
Top 7 Methods For Making 3D Rapid Prototypes
While 3D printing technology has been around since the 1980s, it is constantly evolving, with new processes being introduced all the time. Some are best suited for consumer applications, while others for industrial environments. However, not all types are suited for rapid prototyping, a technique used to create prototypes quickly and test out a wide […]
Industrial Equipment News: What tolerances can you expect when manufacturing prototypes?
For prototypes and low-volume production, one of the ways to ensure quick turnaround on your parts is by keeping designs simple and not over-engineering them
What Tolerances Can You Expect When Manufacturing Prototypes And Low-Volume Production?
When you supply your 2D and 3D drawings for a quotation on a new project, you must specify the dimensions for critical areas on your parts, as well as the tolerance that you require. Very tight tolerances are neither practical nor desirable in most instances, so let’s look at the tolerances that we specify at Star Rapid for most projects, why we do that and what it means for your parts.
How Can You Prevent Your Product From Being a Failure?
There’s a plethora of reasons for why new products fail. But there are different steps you can take to minimize the risks when developing a new product.
