What is Rapid Prototyping?

Overview

Rapid prototyping is a design workflow that involves ideation, building a workable prototype, and testing to quickly explore and validate ideas.

There are several methods of industrial design prototyping: iterative, competitive, parallel, and rapid. Rapid prototyping is the fast fabrication and creation of the part, model, or assembly and is usually completed using additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing.

Rapid prototyping using selective laser meeting where the design closely matches the proposed finished product. Rapid prototyping (RP) includes a variety of manufacturing technologies, although most uses layered additive manufacturing. Other techniques used for RP are high-speed machining, molding, casting, and extrusion.
