How Rapid Prototyping Is Used In The Manufacturing Industry
Rapid prototyping is a digital manufacturing process that involves the construction of three-dimensional models with the use of the latest CAD (computer aided design) applications. Using this process, it is possible to turn theoretical designs into physical objects quickly and easily.
Rapid prototyping was first used nearly fifteen years ago, it was developed out of the process of stereo lithography. RP can also be known as three dimensional printing, freeform fabrication, and additive fabrication.
Using a CAD application to design a physical object is not so difficult. Once the imaging has …
