What is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is the quick production of a part or model based on a 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The rapid prototype is typically made using an additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology. In the past, rapid prototyping was achieved using the same or similar process as the final product, which led to costly tooling and setup. Thanks to developments in additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping can be cost-effective and quick.

Advantages of Rapid Prototyping
