Capacity Loss from Manual Prototyping
Definition
Comparison shows RP fastest at 1 hour for flow field plates, but changes force slower methods, idling rapid prototyping equipment and delaying market entry.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 1,200-3,600 per delayed prototype (12-36 hours idle at AUD 100/hr)
- Frequency: Per change order in development phase
- Root Cause: No integrated workflow for ECOs across prototyping methods
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Fuel cell manufacturers in Australia 🇦🇺 lose 12-36 hours per part cycle to manual delays. Automated prototyping pipelines recover full capacity.
