Product Development Cycle

Reduction of product development cycle time is a major concern in industries for achieving competitive advantage. The focus of industries has shifted from traditional product development methodology to accelerated or rapid fabrication techniques. Rapid Prototyping (RP) is the quickest, and can reproduce very complex shapes. With no up-front tooling costs, it can be inexpensive as long as only a few parts are needed. Despite its popularity, traditional Investment Casting (IC) suffers from high tooling investments for producing wax patterns. IC is prohibitively expensive for low-volume production typical in prototyping, customized or specialized component productions.

Abstract This paper proposes a design methodology to develop better quality, less expensive products in the shortest possible product development cycle, focusing on prototyping issues such as rapid prototyping (RP) and virtual prototyping (VP). Along with details of the proposed design methodology, brief overviews of the conventional product development, concurrent engineering, each stage of the product development cycle, RP and VP are described. Moreover, to make use of both RP and VP in the course of product development, their advantages and disadvantage are discussed.

The incremental sheet forming allows the production in high quality of extremely complex pieces of steel, aluminum, titanium and many other materials, in order to reduce time and costs of production and cost of tooling used in low production. Working with tools of various diameters and a suitable machine programming is possible to produce complex parts of small lots in few hours, which in conventional stamping process would take days. This paper aims to introduce process parameters and analyze results from practice tests and computational analysis by changing the rotation, advancement in XY and Z advancement, tooling options, fixture plate and forming tool for producing pieces of varying size and complexity in the shortest time and at the highest quality possible. Thus, presents the incremental sheet forming as an alternative for rapid prototyping, as well as its devices and tools.
