3. Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is a technology that use a 3D computer model to build a 3D plastic part. There are three basic techniques for rapid prototyping: Stereolithography, Selective Laser Sintering, and Fusion Deposition Modeling. For all of these processes, the model needs to be professionally designed using computer aided design (CAD).
Inventors and product development teams easily use rapid prototypes to help communicate their invention to customers, supervisors, and manufacturers without communication barriers that can sometimes occur with 2D drawings and words. Prototypes are now an integral part of the design-to-market process as they help ensure that projects run as quickly and cost efficiently as possible.
Rapid Prototypes may also be used for communicating with manufacturers (especially overseas ones), to attract investors, customers and for consumer marketing focus groups. It is much easier to communicate an invention or design using a 3-D prototype than with a drawing or blueprint.
