What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid Prototyping is used to describe a collection of techniques to create a scale model of a physical part from a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program. Rapid Prototyping is used to produce complicated 3D shapes which are used to aid evaluation of a design.
Rapid Prototyping tends to be employed as a one-off to create a scale model rather than used in large-scale production.
