PROTOTYPING and
TOOLING DEVELOPMENT are
two essential activities in the product life cycle which not
only take up a large proportion of total lead-time, but also
cannot generally be done in parallel with other activities,
thus forming bottlenecks. PROTOSYS
offers a variety of Rapid Prototyping
and Tooling
techniques which may differ greatly in terms of the range
of materials, build envelop, dimensional accuracy surface
finish and other factors, making each technique suitable to
a specific range of applications. Rapid prototyping technology
makes it possible to hold a physical model in hand the day
after concept design while tooling makes it possible to mass
produce the parts within a week.
