MODELS:
| Model
making is a powerful tool in the development of new products.
Model making completes the Industrial design phase by
delivering a 3D rendering of the proposed product. Models
can be as simple as a foam core shape or as complex as
a stereo lithography model with buttons and displays.
Excalibur supports a range of model making capabilities
to bring your new product to life. We recommend the best

those steps to quickly and effectively move the product

Models
often move directly into prototypes in the sense that
they can be complete enough to show key functions and
display options. Electronics can be inserted to complete
the appearance and demonstrate some functionality. Models
can also be used to do mechanical studies on weight distribution,
stability and mechanical rigidity. The model gives the
touch and
|
|
feel of the product in a way that renderings and mechanical
drawings cannot. A good model often jump starts the marketing
process by providing realistic pictures and functional
descriptions that can be translated into brochures and
other marketing materials. |

A prototype
is developed which will serve to demonstrate the functional
viability of the product concept. It can also serve as a research
tool or software test bed for ongoing development work. A
first-article prototype may also represent the form, fit and
function of the proposed production units. It may be used
for engineering evaluation or for early marketing studies.
The prototype also provides valuable feedback about product
features and design.
