MOCK-UP
What is mock-up?
Before the process of molding, a mock up process produces a full-size model that is identical to the 3D or 2D print that is used to evaluate the model. You can reap many benefits through mock up before going through mass production of that model. This is due to the fact that you can identify, evaluate and correct issues that might not be obvious during the production or through CAD cam imaging
Mock-up is excellent for:
- Showing at exhibition or fair
- Examining your own design in real
- Applying for a patent for your innovation or product
- Production of home appliances, industrial devices, and toys
- Examining the production of a mold for mass production of a developed product
