Besides cost and quality, time-to-market is becoming a progressively critical factor for the success of a product. A key contributor to product development cycles is the time required to make ...

Rapid prototyping can be defined as a variety of techniques employed to quickly manufacture a scale model of a physical assembly or product. Usually three dimensional computer aided design, or CAD, is ...

Exogenous pathway optimization and chassis engineering are two crucial methods for heterologous pathway expression. The two methods are normally carried out step-wise ...

Which rapid-prototyping technique works best for micromolded components? To find out, we developed a test part to send to several RP service bureaus. We designed the part to include many of the ...

A rapid prototyping process was presented to fabricate a nylon honeycomb microstructure coated with parylene C. The surface structure was designed to obtain a hydrophobic surface using the volume of ...

Have a great idea for a new gadget and looking to move on it fast? You can—and I did—using rapid prototyping techniques. Rapid prototyping is the ability to quickly generate models using 3D computer ...
