Like most product engineers, manufacturers, and designers, you may be looking for ways to add more value to your product development process. It can be hard to achieve this with traditional manufacturing processes. Shifting to rapid machining techniques like 3D printing, injection molding, and CNC machining is the only way to improve product development. Using these advanced techniques, you can dramatically reduce your prototyping and production timelines and bring your products to the market ahead of your competition.
Rapid manufacturing refers to various technologies for manufacturing parts quicker than conventional methods. One of its top benefits is time savings due to rapid production cycles and minimal tooling times. Plus, it involves modern manufacturing methods to help reduce costs and accelerate product development.
How it helps
Rapid machining adds value to your prototyping process through bridge production, which eliminates the need for full tooling and encourages user feedback during product development. It can provide low-volume production-grade parts, so you can effectively verify the look and function of your parts. Additionally, rapid tooling may be considered end-use prototype manufacturing due to shorter lead times and lower costs than full production tooling.
Rapid manufacturing brings more value when it makes product development more flexible and capable of transitioning smoothly to end-use production. As technologies continue to expand and mature, more production possibilities become available, including vacuum casting, die-casting, and sheet metal fabrication.
Not just for prototyping
Previously, rapid machining was commonly used for product testing and prototyping. However, advances in machinery, materials, and dimensional control have made it available for end-use production. Just be sure to work with a reputable and experienced company that can customize its service offerings for prototyping and low-volume end-use manufacturing.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is the focus of this particular blog.3D printing using FDM essentially implies that the object being printed is fused together by printing layer after layer in a certain pattern.Objects are created by extruding layer upon layer of the heated material on the build tray or printing bed of the 3D printer.
FDM 3D printers use a filament of certain material, usually plastic, which is passed through a hot end, to melt.
The melted filament material is used to make layers which are then fused together to give the object its final shape.
A wide variety of materials can be used for FDM 3D printing like plastics, pastes and some metals as well.FDM 3D printers can be fitted with a wide variety of extrusion systems or extruders like filament extruders, pellet extruders, chocolate extruders and paste extruders depending on the required model to be printed.
Scalability is the biggest advantage of using the FDM technique for 3D printing.
None of the other available 3D printing techniques like SLS and SLA, can be scaled like FDM, without major issues propping up.
