The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation. While CNC machining has used CAD data for years, the entire process from data to final part is being optimized by the addition of operations that use digital information to increase the automation and efficiency of the process. Here is a brief summary of these steps […]
LEDs are typically much brighter than other light sources. Temperature doesn’t affect LEDs, meaning that they will stay brighter and more consistent in extreme weather conditions.
Did you know that rapid prototyping with 3D printing is popular in a wide array of industries? From automotive to healthcare, 3D printing has been used in the prototype and design phase for many years. However, manufacturers are now finding 3D printing to be an excellent choice for some end-part production for reasons such as […]
The right injection mold tooling can come in handy for manufacturing large numbers of identical products. It is also an excellent application for creating prototypes for functional testing, or even for small-volume production runs. The difference between production tools and prototype tools is primarily in the type of material (steel vs. aluminum) used in their […]
Design-driven manufacturing or DFM (design for manufacturing) is generally thought of as a way to optimize your design to ensure simplicity of production. But even in the prototype phase, there are design considerations that can make the final product meet not only your aesthetic requirements but also the performance and long-term manufacturing needs.
A 3D printing […]
Picking the right material for a plastic product prototype can be a challenging task. The material options vary in strength, appearance, and durability. Choosing an appropriate material requires expert knowledge. A plastic prototype service will offer solutions based on your project requirements. They can even help you test different plastic products to find your optimal […]
Product design is changing much faster now than ever before. Now businesses are turning away from traditional manufacturing and switching to low-volume assembly to save money.
The initial prototype to production phase is both daunting and lucrative. When you are balancing new designs with existing manufacturing, creating the first model is a challenge. But a prototyping specialist can reduce your time, money, and effort substantially.
Before shortlisting prototype companies near you, you should understand how prototyping works in manufacturing. Here’s everything you […]
If you need a replacement part, in most cases you contact the manufacturer and order what you need. But for older items, the parts may no longer be available. In addition, you may not even be able to get drawings to help you purchase the parts elsewhere. This is where reverse engineering can help. Reverse […]
The printed circuit board (PCB) is often the starting point and central focus for electronics design. However, you must consider many other factors to create a successful and reliable product, according to experts at Global Technology Ventures Inc. , known for its engineering development, rapid prototyping, and PCB design services.
Let’s go through some critical considerations […]
