86. The different world of rapid prototyping

With the development if the technology, rapid prototyping is widely used in each profession. Thus it can be seen, rapid prototyping is very important for our life.

A large number of competing technologies are available in the marketplace today. Because all of them are additive technologies, their main differences are found in the way layers are built to create parts. Some involve melting or softening material to produce the layers such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM).

Prototyping can be implemented in concept generation, ergonomic testing, test fitting, functional testing and even small-batch production. Among the various methods used in prototyping rapid prototyping is most ideal for mass production in relatively small quantities. Most manufacturers will argue that the more traditional injection molding methods benefit wide scale mass production better than rapid prototyping.

Rapid tooling is another technology that uses rapid prototypes, either indirectly or directly, as a tooling pattern for creating a mold. Rapid tooling techniques enables manufacturers to have molds that supply prototype parts with the correct material at a substantially reduced cost in a fraction of the time it takes to produce parts from production tooling processes.
