Prototype Disadvantages and Rapid Prototyping Disadvantages

Hobart, Washington USA (Articles Base) July 07, 2008

Prototyping Disadvantages is a new webpage that was just added to the new Prototyping Website that has just been released. This new webpage has all of the information you need to know of Prototyping Disadvantages and the main Rapid Prototyping Drawbacks. You can visit this Rapid Prototyping Disadvantages webpage at: http://www.prototypezone.com/prototype-forum/misc-rapid-prototyping/showcat

Here is an excerpt from the new Prototyping Disadvantages webpage:

“Disadvantages of Rapid Prototyping: Some people are of the opinion that rapid prototyping is not effective because, in actual, it fails in replication of the real product or system. It could so happen that some important developmental steps could be omitted to get a quick and cheap working model. This can be one of the greatest disadvantages of rapid prototyping. Another disadvantage of rapid prototyping is one in which many problems are overlooked resulting in endless rectifications and revisions. One more disadvantage of rapid prototyping is that it may not be suitable for large sized applications.

The user may have very high expectations about the prototype’s performance and the designer is unable to deliver these. The system could be left unfinished due to various reasons or the system may be implemented before it is completely ready. The producer may produce an inadequate system that is unable to meet the overall demands of the organization. Too much involvement of the user might hamper the optimization of the program. The producer may be too attached to the program of rapid prototyping, thus it may lead to legal involvement.

The cost reduction benefit of rapid prototyping also seems to be debatable, as sufficient details regarding the calculation basis and assumptions are not substantial.”

What is a "Bruce Land Prototype Board", and where can I get it?

I came across a project from Cornell students, and was wondering what the Bruce Land Prototype Board is. Is it different from a normal PCB board, or is it something different (does it have any special components added to it)? Also, I live in New Jersey, so I was wondering where can I get it if this board is made specifically for Cornell students.

Have a look at http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s2006/mkl28ilw4/mkl28ilw4/index.html a diagram of the board is right at the bottom of the page.
