3dProtoPrint.com, a company that designs and manufactures Toy prototypes for the toy companies and designers. There are many toy prototypes and very common ones include Pez dispenser, transformers, Hasbro toys, star wars models and vehicles. The toy prototype refers to a toy pilot model which can be used for experimental purposes or visualization or marketing. The toy prototypes are created with intricate details and rich resolution.
The major advantage of this process is that it is a less expensive and time consuming process. It is easy to obtain engineering assistance, design specification and maintaining design confidentiality and gaining production expertise. The raw materials required for toy prototype includes the following. Silicone rubber is commonly used. Apart from this urethane, epoxy and metals can also be used. It can be used for manufacturing action figures, construction toys like building blocks, trendy vehicles, board games, Cmetric from elogIQ and puzzles. Rapid prototyping uses three dimensional technology to make the toys according to the customer specification. Toy builders pioneered this technology to create toy prototypes. Nowadays toy prototypes are used to create any action figure or sculpture or articulated figures.
Stereo lithography and vacuum casting method are used to create rapid toy prototyping. Many toy prototypes are made of polypropylene as it is less expensive, easy to color, durable and flexible and easy to pour the molten form in casts for molding them.
Prototype engineering brings shape and life to our ideas. Prototype engineering can be used in metal fabrication plastic production, electronic circuit designing or textile industry. Advancement in the technology and the presence of skilled designers lead to the production of high quality prototypes. Conceptual prototypes or otherwise the CP prototypes use rapid prototyping or three-dimensional printing. The F3 or functional prototype offers more color options like translucent red, amber and transparent clear. This performs a function like adding light in the dark material.
Custom fabricated prototypes or CF are custom made using plastic engineering and many nontraditional products are made using this method. This is used when rapid prototyping is not applicable. The computer generated prototype is the VP or the virtual prototype model can create a virtual form of the actual product. This is the most preferred of all the prototypes as it saves a lot of time and money and the best comparison between the functionalities and structure of the physical product and virtual product can be done using this technology.
