新产品开发过程同时利用虚拟和物理原型。越来越需要减少从一个转换为另一个转换时所需的时间和成本。同时使用它们也有可能需要。虚拟原型(VP)和物理原型(PP)是具有许多相似目标的两种技术,但以截然不同的方式实现它们。使用VP,该方法是以最简单的方式尽可能精确地创建数值模型,而PP会创建一个物理模型。本文试图从可以将其与PP进行比较并形成鲜明对比的意义上来定义VP。最明显的区域是在产品开发的早期阶段,即概念化。描述了虚拟和物理原型的实时整合的两个不同的实验实现。还描述了一种虚拟CAD技术,该技术旨在以直观形式创建可能适合艺术雕塑家的概念模型。得出的结论是,PP(通过基于层的快速原型制作(RP)技术)和VP是有价值的技术,可以将它们融合在一起,形成一个有力的复杂产品开发的强大工具。
The new product development process makes use of both virtual and physical prototypes. There is an increasing need to reduce the time and cost required when converting from one to the other. There is also a potential need to use them both simultaneously. Virtual Prototyping (VP) and Physical Prototyping (PP) are two techniques that have many similar goals, but which achieve them in very different ways. With VP, the approach is to create as precise a numerical model as possible in the easiest possible way, whereas PP creates a physical model. This paper tries to define VP in a sense where it can be compared and contrasted with PP. The most obvious common area is in the early stages of product development, namely conceptualisation. Two different experimental implementations of real-time integration of virtual and physical prototyping are described. A virtual CAD technique is also described that aims to create concept models in an intuitive form that may be suitable for artistic sculptors. A conclusion is made that PP (through the layer-based Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology) and VP are valuable techniques that can join together to form a powerful tool for rapid development of complex products.
