Functional Prototype
Make a working functional prototype to test the form, fit and function of the part to prove and perfect your design.
Test The Functionality Of Parts In Real-World Environments
A functional prototype is the most basic working prototype built to validate a product design. Additionally, it is an integral part of the assembly, testing, piloting, and market research process that evaluates design, materials, strength, tolerances, assembly, work mechanisms, manufacturability. Manufactured with several prototyping techniques and engineering-grade materials, functional prototypes are alternatives to finished products, allowing examination and testing on form, fitness, and functionality under extreme working conditions to improve designs.
Functional Prototype Used To Simulate The Final Product
Create a functional prototype using production-grade materials to realistically simulate the final product's mechanical function, chemical resistance, and thermal properties, indicating its performance before production.
Create a working prototype for complex assemblies to check a component's form and fitness, and ensure accuracy of pre-assembled parts.
Produce high-precision functional prototypes to measure, compare, or check for design errors, dimensional variances, and acceptable tolerances.
Functional optical prototyping to support engineering tests for optical development, including light transmission and refractive index.
Add metal inserts, movable hinges, simulated over-moulding processes, and more, to functional prototype parts to mimic and verify the finished product functionality.
Realistic functional prototypes aid the presentation of the final product’s aesthetics and functionality. It provides design scalability.
