Rapid Prototyping

• Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used
  to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical
  part or assembly using three-dimensional computer
  aided design (CAD) data. The process of
  prototyping involves quick building up of a
  prototype or working model for the purpose of
  testing the various design features, ideas,
  concepts, functionality, output and performance.

History

• Originated in 1960s in manufacturing industry
  with the development of computer controlled
  tools, The first rapid prototyping techniques
  became accessible in the later 80s and they were
  used for production of prototype and model parts.

WHY Rapid Prototyping?

• Rapid prototyping opens new opportunities for
  innovation
• Time Savings
• Easier Visualization
• Detect design flaws before the manufacture of
  tooling
• Rapid prototyping allows designers to realize
  their concepts beyond virtual visualization
• Rapidly create tooling to manufacture physical
  prototypes
