Technique | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Rapid CNC Machining | High precision for parts requiring tight tolerances. Works with a wide range of materials, including metals and plastics. Ideal for functional and durable parts. | Higher cost compared to other methods. Longer lead times, especially compared to additive manufacturing processes. |
Rapid Injection Molding | Excellent for high-volume production with efficiency. Produces end-use functional parts with fine details. | High upfront cost for molds. Not cost-effective for small production runs. |
Rapid Sheet Metal Fabrication | Great for creating durable prototypes that are strong and robust. Allows for quick modifications and adjustments. Suitable for both prototyping and production. | Limited complexity; not ideal for highly detailed or intricate designs. |
Rapid 3D Printing | Fast and cost-effective, perfect for quick iterations. Capable of producing complex geometries that | Material properties may not match those of traditionally manufactured parts. Resolution varies depending on the technology used. |
Rapid Vacuum Casting | Ideal for small batch production of high-detail replicas. Provides high-quality visual models in a short time frame. | Typically used for non-functional prototypes or visual models due to material limitations. |
