Part 1 of this 3-part series described how a model-driven development process and virtual prototyping tools help address the challenges of implementing a DFSS methodology in a complex automotive ...

Stratasys patented the rapid prototyping process known as fused deposition modeling (FDM (R)). The process creates functional models directly from any 3D CAD program using ABS plastic ...

The term “prototyping” is typically connected with the product development process, where a preliminary model of a machine or product offering is created to test the concept’s viability in ...

Prototyping and design processes form the cornerstone of innovative product development, facilitating the transformation of conceptual ideas into tangible, testable models.

While most companies understand the importance of prototyping during product development, many often have misconceptions about the cost, purpose and time required.

A new process used to update the Chevrolet Malibu for the 2014 model sounds more like the plot of a sci-fi movie than anything tied to designing cars. To refresh the Malibu’s interior and ...
