Develop a disciplined way to compare prototyping technologies for plastic parts This book presents a structured method to evaluate processes by performance, cost, and lead time. It applies to real settings where lead times and costs matter for product development teams.
This edition focuses on four prototyping processes—CAD solid modeling, stereolithography, CNC machining, and rubber molding—and uses data from an industrial study to show how a systematic approach can guide decisions about which process to use for a given part. It covers how to define useful performance attributes, assign importance weights, and combine them into a single performance score. You’ll see how parts, processes, and lots of different scenarios influence results, and how to translate insights into practical guidelines.
What you’ll experience
- A clear framework for evaluating prototyping options based on part performance, cost, and lead time
- Step-by-step guidance to choose between processes when time or cost is the driver
- Practical examples showing how weightings and attribute importance shape decisions
- Realistic conclusions about when rapid prototyping helps and when traditional machining may be better
- Ideal for readers who design, manage, or manufacture products and want to make prototyping choices more data-driven and efficient.
