**3.3.7 Prototyping**

For the presentation of the proposed solutions were built rapid prototypes of components, to facilitate understanding by all involved and provide performing tests (dimensional and visual).

The prototypes were made in the rapid prototyping machine Strasys Dimension SST 768, of the Innovation Products Lab (Laboratório de Inovação de Produtos - LIP) from the Optimization of Manufacturing and Technology Innovation Nucleus (NOMATI) of the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI) in Brazil.

For each changed system, it had built its corresponding prototype. Later a hybrid prototype has been built for discussion and the accomplishment of test by the team. Figure 8 shows the hybrid prototype built for the accomplishment of tests.

Solution 2: main support and coil The tests have provided opportunities for improvement on the redesigned components. For example, the vibration test showed that the sets together by snaps showed a performance similar do the original product (union by welding).

This assured the company owners that the alteration proposals could be taken forward, minimizing the risks of failure. This information was registered on the company database as learned lessons.
