Rapid prototyping
Topic
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a novel physical part for use in initial product testing. The model is typically designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and constructed using 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology. This process allows designers and engineers to quickly evaluate, test, and refine their concepts before committing to full-scale production.
