The Different Types of Prototyping

In the context of 3D printing, various types of prototyping exist to address different stages of product development, from conceptualization to final testing:

Conceptual Prototyping

Creating simple, quick, and often rough 3D models to explore ideas and concepts.
Usage: Early stages of product design to visualize and evaluate the overall form and aesthetics.
Benefits: Fast and cost-effective, enables rapid iteration and idea exploration.

Presentation Prototyping

Creating detailed and polished 3D models to represent the final appearance of the product.
Usage: Assessing the visual design, aesthetics, and overall look of the product.
Benefits: Helps in finalizing design decisions and gaining stakeholder approval.

Functional Prototyping

Developing 3D printed models that replicate the functionality of the final product.
Usage: Testing the mechanical properties, fit, and function of the design.
Benefits: Provides valuable insights into the performance and usability of the product, allowing for functional testing.

Rapid Prototyping

Utilizing 3D printing to quickly produce prototypes for fast evaluation and testing.
Usage: Speeding up the development cycle by quickly generating prototypes.
Benefits: Accelerates the design process, allowing for rapid feedback and iteration.

Materials for prototypes

Most used materials for prototyping

PLA filament

PLA filament is a popular choice for prototyping due to its ease of use and eco-friendliness. Made from renewable resources like corn starch, it is biodegradable and produces minimal odor during printing. PLA offers good strength, a smooth finish, and is ideal for creating detailed and aesthetic prototypes.

PETG filament

PETG filament combines the best of both PLA and ABS, offering strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. It is easy to print and produces durable prototypes that can withstand mechanical stress. PETG is perfect for functional prototypes that require both robustness and clarity.

TPU filament

TPU filament is a flexible and elastic material, ideal for creating prototypes that require rubber-like properties. Its high durability and resistance to abrasion make it perfect for functional parts that need to bend or stretch without breaking. TPU is used in applications ranging from wearables to automotive components.

Plant-based UV Resin

Plant-based resin offers an eco-friendly alternative for 3D printing prototypes. This resin provides excellent detail and smooth finishes, perfect for intricate and high-quality prototypes. Its sustainable production reduces environmental impact, aligning with green manufacturing practices.
