Engineering Applications
Design iterations can be communicated effectively with physical prototypes. Whether for internal use, or to communicate between organizations, nothing captures design intent more than a physical model. The effectiveness of physical models can lead to earlier consensus, and potentially reduce design development time and cost.
Finite element analysis data can also be printed directly onto Criteria Systems models. This can be used for design comparisons, or for sales demonstrations to physically show the superiority of a design. FEA data can be difficult to communicate to clients and customers, but with color physical prototypes, the results are clearly presented.
In terms of manufacturing, Criteria Systems prototypes can be fit directly into assemblies of predesigned or sourced parts. Exact replicas of manufactured parts are also possible.
Presentation models are also an effective use of Criteria Systems prototypes. For communication to clients appearance prototypes and simple functional prototypes can be produced by Criteria Systems.
