Rapid Prototyping is a technology that is used to build
physical models and prototype parts from
three-dimensional computer aid design (CAD) data. It
allows designers and engineers to create a tangible
prototype of their design, rather than having to use
two-dimensional pictures. These models help decrease the
development time by allowing corrections to be made
early in the design process. Flaws can be corrected and
changes can be made while they are still inexpensive.
Rapid prototyping saves them time and money and enhances
the quality of their product.

Benefits
of Rapid Prototyping:
-
Dramatically
reduces product development time and cost.
-
Detects design flaws before the manufacture of tooling.
-
Allows easy and accurate communication of design
changes.
-
Reduces tooling costs and production time.
-
Determines the manufacturability of a proposed design.
