What is a functional prototype, and how do you most effectively create one? This article covers the purpose of functional prototypes, common materials, manufacturing processes used to create them, tips on reducing cost and lead times, and more.

Whether it’s a prototype, housing for sensitive components, or a mechanical component, parts for electronics must meet stringent quality and performance standards. To ensure they do so, you must take a meticulous approach to their manufacture – one which encompasses materials, design, and production methods. In this article, we’ll take a look at all of the above, so you can make informed decisions about manufacturing parts for electronics.

In this article, we’ll take a look at several of the technologies and materials used to manufacture parts for production, their benefits, things to consider, and more.

When you have prototyped your design and are ready to progress to production, it's important that your parts are manufactured as efficiently and close to spec as possible. Not only will you need to think about material properties, part tolerances, and lead times, you’ll also need to choose the right manufacturing process.

Injection molding is one of the most reliable ways to produce large volumes of high-quality parts, and digital manufacturing platforms are making it easier and more efficient than ever to scale production.

The service life of a rubber gasket is affected by the material, environment, and frequency of use. It can be used for more than 5 years in ideal conditions, but only for a few months in harsh conditions. It needs to be checked and replaced regularly.
