Step 4 - Prototyping
00.50
| 00:00 | After finishing a design, it's usually worth making a quick prototype to be sure it'll work before we spend the time and money on manufacturing. |
| 00:08 | Although our CAD model provides a good visual reference, a physical test can often highlight issues that weren't obvious in the virtual world and give us the confidence that a design will function as intended. |
| 00:21 | However , fabricated parts like this don't lend themselves well to being prototyped. |
| 00:26 | While we could potentially tack weld together a version made from cheaper material, like mild steel, the cost and time associated is still relatively large compared to making the final part from chromoly. |
| 00:39 | Therefore, the prototyping stage will be skipped in this case and instead the parts will be tacked together and test fitted throughout the manufacturing process. |
