Product Design Methods: Demonstrate
Prototyping is a critical step in product development with many options and methods available. Successful Demonstration will show that the product not only will perform in terms of form, fit, and function, but will also be marketable, manufacturable, and serviceable. Demonstration not only provides design verification, but further solidifies the concept and confirms that the design intent has been achieved. At Catalyst, Demonstration can be as simple as sculpted clay models or as detailed as a high level, non-linear finite element analysis |

| Catalyst recognized years ago that to truly offer production ready prototypes on a timely, cost effective basis a rapid process was needed. Catalyst's proprietary rapid tooling processes have been used by clients in a multitude of industries to create actual plastic prototype parts and marketing samples. These techniques ensure fit, finish and function since they use the actual plastic material to be used in production. Plastic parts produced from these processes will look, feel and act like a production part. | |
