2. Have you ever thought about the benefits of prototypes
in manufacturing companies? Prototyping is done to
help make the adjustments and fixes on a product
before the final product is mass produced. The plastic
industry is actually harvesting tons of benefits from a
prototype and it is a very important element in the
creation of high quality products. In the mass production
of plastic products, there are a couple of benefits that
prototypes can provide to the manufacturers.
4. Many companies in the manufacturing industry suffered
from product recalls in the past just because of one
defective product. If a company is mass producing items
and one of the products is found to have problems or
defects, there is a big possibility that the other products
on that batch will also have the same problems.
5. Through the help of a prototype, all these defects will be
found before the product is mass produced. During the
testing phase of the products, the defects will already be
found and they will prevent it from being sold on the
market.
7. Usually, product recalls are done because the products
with defects must be fixed or they have to be replaced
by the company. Though this is normal to some
companies, it will surely cause a big financial loss to the
companies especially if the products are expensive.
Imagine the possible losses of the company if they have
to recall a batch of products and create a new batch to
distribute for free.
8. This will surely be a problem to most companies if these
issues will be more frequent since it will severely affect
their finances. The use of prototypes will prevent this
from happening and they can even check the design of
the product before they are mass produced.
10. You can easily adjust the design and fix some of the
features of the product during the process without
causing any problems on the manufacturing.
Basically, changing the features and design will be easier
with prototypes because they will not negatively affect
the manufacturing process. The manufacturers will not
have any problems with this and they can ask for more
adjustments until they are satisfied.
11. As you can see, prototyping together with injection
molding can really benefit the plastic industry in many
ways. These benefits will help you understand how
important it is to consider prototyping.
