Rapid Prototyping

[Jackson101]

Hello,
I was wondering to use rapid prototyping and I wanted to know how it works.
Can anyone please help me.

Wikipedia has a good explanation of this, as well as links to several videos.

This is a fantastic tool for product development! (we have 6 machines in-house). Once you've finished the CAD model in 3D, you just send it to the RP machine and your part is ready in a few hours.

Very useful for when you need prototype parts fast; such as a design review, proof of concept, business show, ergonomic studies, etc.
