What you will learn

Why you would make a prototype

Manufacturing methods suitable for creating prototypes (additive manufacturing, laser cutting, sheet metal processes e.t.c)

Detail of different manufacturing processes and what they are capable of

How to approach suppliers to make prototypes

Lead times, Packaging, Delivery and Payments when dealing with machine shops

How to handle issues with suppliers

The types of pitfalls that can occur in creating a prototype

Description

Do you wish to turn your designs and ideas into tangible physical products that you can develop, use or sell? 

Are you creative and want to take your talents to the next level?

This course will springboard your understanding of the engineering world on product manufacture through many prototyping routes such as; turning, milling, laser cutting, water jet machining and many others! Learn how to approach your suppliers with all the necessary information to create your parts, whilst not having the appearance to your supplier of being new to it all! Prevent making some of the mistakes I have made in the past by learning about some errors I have encountered, but also how to handle issues should any problems or disputes arise.

I have personally created components for a race car, including suspension, drivetrain and steering, but also I have built a 3D printer using the knowledge contained in these lectures.

The course is informative, the only problem I faced is that there are no subtitle in English, because sometimes I needs to read the subtitles for further understanding

Great course. It offered a lot of info and visuals of prototype fabrication methods. It would be great to see more examples of projects created by the instructor added over time.
