Why Do We Need to Make Prototype Models?
A prototype model—often referred to as a rapid prototype—is made after a new product’s design is completed but before formal production and tooling begin. Based on the product’s design or engineering drawings, one or more physical models are created so we can visually and tangibly evaluate what the final product will look like. This allows […]
