It is highly probable that your best source of funds will be angel financing for entrepreneurs.
It’s likely that you’ve heard the term “3D printing” lately. After all, it’s one of the hottest part creation methods today, utilized by hobbyists and product development firms to quickly and affordably build lifelike test parts.
Reducing cost, speeding time to market, and improving overall end-user experience are three main goals that every good product development firm aims to accomplish — and rapid prototyping technologies can help them achieve this.
Great product designers are always on the lookout for better ways to reduce cost and improve the user experience.
Living hinge design is method that can accomplish both these tasks handily by replacing conventional hinge design methods with a flexible thin web of plastic.
Due to the unique flow dynamics of plastic injection molding two bodies of plastic can be connected with a resilient hinge can be cycled indefinitely.
Whenever I begin a new project, I want to know all of the steps up front. I like research; I don’t like surprises.
And I’m like that even with something fairly low commitment, like an inexpensive craft project, so I understand the compulsion to over-research on bigger projects—such as taking on a new business venture.

Have you seen the pictures floating around of the astronaut enjoying an espresso on the International Space Station? It turns out that the delicious brewed beverage was in a 3D printed cup that had been carefully designed to keep the liquid from floating around the microgravity environment on the Space Station. It was shaped so that the coffee would be held together with enough surface tension to keep it from floating away.
If you’re going to have a prototype made, you need a 3D CAD model. This file—with an extension like .STL, .IGS, .STP, .SLDPRT, .PRT, .DWG, .ITP—will have all of the information we need to 3D print or machine your prototype.
