Prototyping
Prototyping is a standard process in aerospace industries, used for designing a prototype that matches exactly the final aerospace component. It is mainly used to estimate changes in the component’s design. It is also done to evaluate the aerospace components using 3D visualizations. Moreover, it gives an idea about the quality of the model’s surface. This process allows the production of high-quality components in reduced time and without money wastage.
Rapid Material and Design Iterations
Detailed Prototypes for Complex Geometries
Models Similar to Final Products
Engineering Validation and Testing (EVT)
Engineering validation tests are mainly done in the aerospace industry on the prototype designed to manufacture a final component. It is performed to ensure that the basic unit can achieve the design’s specifications and goals. In other words, it is done to ensure that the design fulfills all the requirements. EVT mainly includes:
Parametric measurements
Electromagnetic interference
Signal quality test
Functional test
Design Validation and Testing (DVT)
Design validation testing is mainly characterized by optimization and experimentation. This test acquires detailed product design information while going toward the first mass production line. It comprises the following testing area.
Conformance testing
Mechanical testing
Reliability testing
Performance testing
Production Validation and Testing (PVT)
Production validation and testing is the final and last phase. It is done right before the production of mass begins. It is characterized by fixing complex tooling. It means no more changes are made in the production mold or the product’s design.
Rapid Delivery of Production Quality Parts
Verification of Manufacturing Processes
Low-Volume Production Tooling
Mass Production
Mass production is also designated as continuous production or flow production. The constant production of a significant amount of product marks this stage. The production is done utilizing either automation technology or assembly lines. It facilitates the manufacturing of massive quantities of similar final products.
