What is Rapid Prototyping? Rapid prototyping is a process, developed in
the 1980's, by which a solid physical model of a part is made directly from a
three dimensional CAD drawing. Rapid protyping is also called desktop
manufacturing or free-form fabrication. The definition of a prototype is
the first full scale model of a product.
