In this paper, we report on the development of a novel rapid prototyping method to fabricate microfluidic chips from thermoplastic materials with embedded pneumatic controls.
This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of ergonomics research and methods applied to design, development, prototyping, as well as evaluation, training and manufacturing of products, systems and services.
Fabrication is implemented by a polymer jetting rapid prototyping method.
This prototyping method is itself a prototype - we'll be refining it as we do other prototyping projects in the future.
We chose the classic life cycle development method [ 8], which includes the following steps: (1) the analysis and specification of pre-requisites using prototyping methods, (2) project, (3) implementation and unit testing, (4) system integration and testing, and (5) operation and maintenance.
When the simulation technology lacks the desired accuracy, it can be supplemented with rapid prototyping methods.
A prototype method was adopted.
Development method Nominal Development method.
As a new product design and development method, virtual prototyping is the advanced research in the modeling and simulation (M&S) field.
Topics include the structured systems analysis and design cycle along with alternative system developments methods (prototyping, spiral methodology, and object-oriented analysis and design).
Fortunately, advances in software development, new methods of rapid prototyping, and commoditization of hardware components have made in-house engineering feasible once again.
