If your business is looking to build a new product or a feature, prototyping is one of the best product development processes to go for. The approach uses 3-dimensional prototypes of a specific part which are created and tested. Rapid prototyping is a design process that enables businesses to test product ideas quickly. Here at Stephens Plastics Mouldings, we are proud to be able to offer a wide range of plastic manufacturing services for many businesses and industries. Therefore, we are proud to offer our rapid prototyping services here in the UK.
Furthermore, our facilities can accommodate end-to-end manufacturing requirements. From the intricate design stages, the prototyping, the creation, and of course the innovation. We’ll manufacture and deliver whatever you need. In addition, we’ll do it with a fresh and transparent approach that you can rely on, time and time again. As with all of our plastic manufacturing services, our rapid prototyping leverages our modern machinery alongside our decades of experience in the industry.
Why Use Rapid Prototyping?
The main purpose of our rapid prototyping service is to gain effective insights. As well as, user feedback in the early stages of product development. By designing a prototype that brings your ideas to life, you can trial and test the product. Therefore, continuing to refine the design off the feedback, until it meets all of the requirements and demands of the user.
The Process
So now you know what rapid prototyping is, it’s likely you’ll want to know how it works. Essentially there are three main steps to the process: prototyping, testing, and refining. Our technicians and designers will follow these three stages in a collaborative manner with the client itself. Continuing to improve the solutions based on the results and feedback from the prototype testing. New ideas continue to be tested and improved upon until it is ready for the final development stage.
Rapid Prototyping Benefits
There are many benefits to rapid plastic prototyping depending on the type of sector the product belongs to, however the three core benefits are:
1. Exploring New Concepts
Rapid prototyping is one of the fastest and most effective ways to explore any ideas that your business has come up with. Research and customer feedback can highlight the need for change or improvements all the time. Therefore, rapid prototyping can allow you to explore these potential solutions. As a result, you can quickly establish whether the development is or isn’t a good idea.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Lots of money can be wasted by designing solutions that don’t actually suit the business or the customer as planned. Prototyping solutions and testing it with users first can help you to save money in the long run because you are less likely to be spending your time and money releasing to the world a development that doesn’t work or that requires costly alterations.
3. Better Chance Of Launching A Successful Product
A product that is successful is one that is useful, feasible, and meets the requirements of the user. Rapid prototyping can ensure all of these aspects are covered and ticked off during the development cycle, so that when it comes to the official launch of the product, the odds are already well in your favour for it being a success.
