Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd. Industry News Home News Characteristics of Traditional Prototyping Time-Intensive: Methods like mold-making or manual fabrication can take weeks to months, especially for complex designs.High Skill Requirement: Relies heavily on skilled labor (e.g., machinists, mold makers, or artisans), increasing costs and variability.Material Authenticity: Often uses production-grade materials (e.g., metals, thermoplastics), making prototypes suitable for functional testing.High Costs: Tooling, material waste, and labor make traditional prototyping expensive, especially for small runs or frequent iterations.Limited Iteration: Design changes require significant rework, such as modifying molds or re-machining parts, slowing the development process.
