Replication and Rapid Prototyping

Do you need to replicate an object or a prototype but do not have the orginal computer model.

This application is probably the most common and is suitable for a wide variety of industries and applications such as artists and sculptors or advertsing and marketing.

By scanning an existing object or part Wysiwyg 3D is able to create an accurate digital model. This enables engineers and designers to minimise changes or corrections early in the design process dramatically reducing development and manufacturing time and decreasing cost.

Artists and sculptors can see their pieces enlarged or reduced in scale for exhibitions or displays.

Any object from coins to cars can be laser scanned and either enlarged or reduced depending on your application. With a range of file outputs to choose from including STL, IGES and STEP Wysiwyg 3D can create a rapid prototype that can be used to manufacture a final piece.

Check out our Case Studies http://www.wysiwyg3d.com.au/case-studies/case-studies-entertainment/. Here we scanned the original NRL trophy which was enlarged for its season launch.

Rapid prototyping is the automatic construction of physical objects using additive manufacturing technology.

The use of additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping takes virtual designs from computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software, transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal cross-sections and then creates successive layers until the model is complete. It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model are almost identical.
