Abstract Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques have revolutionized traditional manufacturing methods. These techniques allow the user to fabricate a part directly from a conceptual model before investing in production tooling and help develop new models with significant short time. This paper suggests the new process to manufacture large size hollow shape parts for prototype-car using Rapid Prototyping technology and Vacuum Molding with the reduction of delivery time. In addition, this paper introduces the div iding and combining method to make large size RP master model in spite of the limit of the build chamber dimensions of commercialized RP systems and post-processing method to achieve sufficient surface quality.
