161. What is rapid manufacturing?
A natural extension of rapid prototyping is rapid manufacturing, the automated production of salable products directly from CAD data. Currently only a few final products are produced by RP machines, but the number will increase as metals and other materials become more widely available. RM will never completely replace other manufacturing techniques, especially in large production runs where mass-production is more economical.
RM is much cheaper, since it does not require tooling. RM is also ideal for producing custom parts tailored to the user’s exact specifications. The other major use of RM is for products that simply cannot be made by subtractive or compressive processes.
In fact, there are many other knowledge about the rapid manufacturing, if you want to know, you can read our articles.
