Join us as we delve into the five main uses of prototyping equipment, including 3D printers, CNC milling, and more. Our host, Renaud, is joined by Paul Adams, head of the new product development team, to explore why prototyping is crucial for design houses, manufacturing companies, and product developers alike.

In this episode, we break down the distinctions between prototyping and production equipment and discuss the importance of having in-house prototyping tools.
We cover five key uses of prototyping equipment, including:

Creating functional prototypes to validate concepts and improve design.
Developing visually appealing prototypes to enhance user experience and aesthetics.
Combining look-like and work-like prototypes for comprehensive testing.
Conducting stress testing to ensure reliability and compliance.
Utilizing bridge production runs to meet early demand and maintain trust.

We also touch on how prototyping equipment can be used to create production tooling, such as jigs and fixtures, to streamline the manufacturing process. Tune in to gain valuable insights into the world of prototyping and how it can benefit your product development journey.

Don't miss out on this informative discussion that will help you understand the nuances of prototyping and its vital role in bringing new products to market efficiently and effectively.
