  • Types of Mechanical Prototypes

Proof-of-Concept: Simple models to validate a core mechanical principle (e.g., a lever mechanism made with 3D-printed Nylon).

Functional Prototypes: Fully operational models that mimic the final product’s mechanics (e.g., a CNC-machined aluminum robotic arm).

Visual Prototypes: Focus on aesthetics and form, often less functional (e.g., a 3D-printed housing for a motor).

Pre-Production Prototypes: Near-final versions to test manufacturing processes and performance (e.g., injection-molded parts).
