What is Rapid Prototyping ?

Prototyping is an essential part of the product development process. Making prototypes allows you to get a look and feel and some functionality of the product being designed. 

Instead of using the same materials as in your end design, using cheaper materials and high precision machines, like the CXC3-Mighty, you can update the design quicker and at less cost.

For example, if you want to make a metal toy, you can design. cut and assemble it with wood/mdf, and make corrections in your design quickly and test them out again and again till you are satisfied.

A few examples of rapid prototyping are given belwo for reference.

The internet has a lot to offer as there are several DIY ( Do It Yourself) innovators who share their work and sometimes even designs.

Just search and you are certain to get a few hits.

Here are a few resources to get you started with designing and cutting your own projects. Laser cutting projects can also be modified and used for CNC’s.
