What is Rapid Prototyping

Prototyping is an experimental process where design teams implement ideas into tangible forms from paper to digital. Teams build prototypes of varying degrees of fidelity to capture design concepts and test on users. With prototypes, you can refine and validate your designs so your brand can release the right products and avoid costly mistakes. As a prominent rapid prototyping factory, Essai has significant technical resources and high production capacity, providing reliable product quality that reaches markets both at home and abroad. Below are various types of rapid prototyping automotive options for you to consider.

What Are the Advantages of Rapid Prototyping?

1. Allowing Functionality Testing

It is the most direct and effective way to identify design flaws and drawbacks. This allows for targeted improvements to address these issues until no shortcomings can be found in individual prototype samples

2. Reducing Product Development Costs

Time-saving measures early in the development stage help bring you one step closer to a final product that yields a return on your investment. Whether you’re an established global brand or a small business, any cost reduction can help your bottom line.

The Process of Rapid Prototyping

01

Define the Vision

You need to send us 2D & 3D file of the parts, and advise the specification required.

02

Part Analysis

Our engineer team will check the part design according to the files you provide and analyse the feasibility of production and provide the quotation.

03

Customer Comfirmation

Customers confirm the quotation.

04

Produce & Inspection & Shipping

Produce the parts, after parts passed our QC's checking, then packing and shipping out parts within the delivery date.

05

Customer Approval

Costomer receive and check the parts.

How Rapid Prototyping Improves User Experience

01

Identify hidden problems in design optimization for DFM during prototyping.

02

Act quickly, shorten lead-times and cost-effective from prototyping until mass production.

03

High precision manufacture equipment used, full process will be strictly controlled, QC measuring report provided before shipping.

04

Enhancing product success: Understanding the requirement or specification of product from design/prototyping with promised quality.

05

Exceed expectations, meet customer needs and be satisfied.

As one of rapid prototyping suppliers, we will do our best to meet all the needs of customers.
