Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

A mechanical prototype is a physical, functional model of a mechanical component, system, or product designed to test and validate its design, performance, and manufacturability before full-scale production. It focuses on evaluating mechanical properties such as strength, durability, motion, fit, and interaction of parts. 

Form and Fit: Ensure the prototype’s shape, size, and assembly align with design specifications (e.g., how parts fit together in a gearbox).

Function: Test mechanical performance, such as load-bearing capacity, movement, or wear resistance.

Manufacturability: Identify production challenges, such as tolerances or material limitations, early in the design process.

User Interaction: Assess ergonomics or usability for components like handles or levers.
