- What is traditional prototyping?
Traditional prototyping refers to conventional methods of creating physical models or prototypes of a product design before the advent of modern rapid prototyping technologies like 3D printing. These methods, often manual or semi-automated, rely on subtractive manufacturing, molding, or handcrafting techniques to produce prototypes. While slower and often more labor-intensive than rapid prototyping, traditional methods are still used in certain contexts for their precision, material authenticity, or suitability for specific applications.
Traditional prototyping, while slower and more resource-intensive than modern rapid prototyping, remains a vital part of product development for applications requiring high precision, durability, or production-like parts. Its integration with rapid prototyping methods allows companies to leverage the strengths of both approaches.
