What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a specialized manufacturing technique for high-quality physical models with 3D design concepts. Prototyping is quick and economic,as they never need to invest in hard tooling equipment.It emphasizes a fast turnaround. So it's expected to produce a physical part in a short time to validate the design, then capture business chances.
Proof of Concept
What Is Proof of Concept?
Proof of concept (POC) refers to an initial test of an idea, method, or product to show its potential and feasibility in real-world settings. A proof of concept occurs during the ideation phase of a project—before extensive design and engineering work actually begins on the project—and usually consists of a small and relatively simple or undeveloped version of the desired final result.
The purpose of a proof of concept is to validate assumptions and illustrate that a new product or idea can be successful. Team members can use the proof of concept as a tangible way to help identify any unforeseen risks in the production or execution of the product or idea.
