By understanding how things are made—what’s called "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM)—designers can make prototypes that aren’t just pretty but also practical for production. They can avoid design mistakes and make sure everything works right before going into full-scale production.

In product development, 3D printing accelerates iterations, reduces costs, and enables innovation. Whether you need quick prototypes, functional testing, or small-batch production, understanding these technologies allows you to leverage their full potential.

Incorporating in-house 3D printing technologies, such as our Bambu X1-Carbon and UniFormation GK3 Ultra SLA printers, allows us to rapidly test and refine our designs, ensuring that each iteration meets both functional and ergonomic requirements.

Product design is a fascinating and challenging process that requires turning ideas into reality. At Engineering Lab, we understand that prototyping is a crucial step in the product design process. It allows us to test and refine the design, explore creative alternatives, and save time and money while improving communication with stakeholders. Let's dive into the awesome benefits of prototyping.
