Low Fidelity Prototyping
(a quick look
at Low fidelity prototyping)
Low Fidelity Prototyping is the speedy fabrication
of sample parts for demonstration, evaluation,
or testing. Low Fidelity Prototyping typically
utilizes advanced layer manufacturing technologies
that can quickly generate complex three-dimensional
objects directly from computer-based models
. This computer representation is sliced into
two-dimensional layers, whose descriptions are
sent to the fabrication equipment to build the
part layer by layer. Low Fidelity Prototyping
includes many different fabrication technologies.
Stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering
(SLS), laminated object manufacturing (LOM),
and fused deposition modeling (FDM) are a few
examples of Low Fidelity Prototyping.
