Prototyping allows for form, fit, and functional analysis of product components and subsystems. It provides risk reduction in product development by allowing key attributes to be evaluated during the design phase, when changes to the product configuration can be easily and cost-effectively made. HDT maintains a network of in-house and outside prototyping capabilities, to include both conventional and rapid prototyping (RP) methods. Because product designs are usually developed as 3D solid models, they can easily serve as the data source for stereolithography (SLA) models and CNC machines. As a manufacturer of military equipment, HDT understands prototyping and transition planning. HDT’s conventional and rapid prototyping capabilities allow for:

• In-house proof-of-concept prototyping
• Functional prototyping using rapid prototyping (RP) technologies
• Functional prototyping using machining and metal-working processes
• In-house assembly and testing
