Abstract Rapid prototyping refers to a range of new technologies for making, in hours or even minutes, three-dimensional prototype parts. The systems and processes becoming available, and the materials being developed for use with these systems, show that what once was a specialty technique now bids to become a standard procedure at the interface between design and manufacturing. With the proliferation of these technologies comes the need to know how they are similar, how they are different, and what they can do. This article discusses the technology and systems for rapid prototyping with case histories. XX
