17. Incredible use of rapid prototyping
A PhD student at the Royal College of Art in the UK has come up with a very unique use for rapid prototyping.
First: rapid prototyping is used in industrial product design to create physical models of computer-aided designs (CAD). Machines can be used to "read in data from a CAD drawing and lays down successive layers of liquid, powder, or sheet material, and in this way builds up the model from a series of cross sections. These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross section from the CAD model, are joined together or fused automatically to create the final shape. The primary advantage to additive fabrication is its ability to create almost any shape or geometric feature."
