What You Can Learn From Red Dot Design Award Winners
Every year we help to bring hundreds of unique product ideas to life, so we’ve learned a few things about what it takes to create successful products. Some of the designs we’ve worked on have been recognized at robotics competitions, as innovative smart...
Top 7 Methods For Making 3D Rapid Prototypes
There are new additive manufacturing techniques being developed all the time. Some are best for consumer applications and others for industrial environments, but not all of them are suited for rapid prototyping. Let’s take a look at the top 7 methods for 3D...
Industrial Equipment News: What tolerances can you expect when manufacturing prototypes?
For prototypes and low-volume production, one of the ways to ensure quick turnaround on your parts is by keeping designs simple and not over-engineering them
What Tolerances Can You Expect When Manufacturing Prototypes And Low-Volume Production?
When you supply your 2D and 3D drawings for a quotation on a new project, you must specify the dimensions for critical areas on your parts, as well as the tolerance that you require. Very tight tolerances are neither practical nor desirable in most instances, so let’s look at the tolerances that we specify at Star Rapid for most projects, why we do that and what it means for your parts.
