For this packaging design Rapid Prototyping was applied almost at the end of the project, as a final evaluation tool. Design bureau Flex Development needed a prototype to both check the form and fit (would the actual light bulbs fit in the cavities) and to present the final design to the clients board of directors. A foam model was created using DeskProto, based on an STL file from Pro Engineer, and a first evaluation clearly showed that one cavity had to be slightly changed.

The second model was OK, and after finishing the resulting presentation model was approved by the client.
