89. The evolution of rapid prototyping

With the development of the society, rapid prototyping has alread used many different world. If you observe carefully, you will find many things aboutthe rapid prototyping.

Rapid prototyping technology known as RP, abbreviated name of solid freeform fabrication, appeared as independent prototyping technique in the second half of the 20th century. It came in the stead of the obsolescent technologies that did not use computers and were mostly carried out manually. A new prototyping method used in the rapid prototyping was called CAD, or computer-aided design. The essence of the new technique laid in the usage a new controlling method called CNC, or computer numerical control. The new method helped to fulfill the prototyping as fast as it could never be done before. The new computer numerical control helped to build 3D rapid prototypes very fast, the process took about a couple of days. Comparing to the former manual technique this method was extremely convenient and efficient. All you needed to do is to take one of your paper sketches and special computer application was able to create the exact three-dimensional copy of the drawing, adjusting it to all requirements you set.

Of course rapid prototyping will continue to developing, it will bring a bigger change to our life.
