Abstract RP's growth has been frustratingly slow. It remains a tool of the few, not of the masses. Yet, those who have had powerful results with RP find it unimaginable that everyone is not using the technology. Rapid prototyping is not immune to the obstacles that exist for any product, technology or industry. These barriers come in many forms. Some are technical, while others are human, organizational, cultural or economic. Each has a role in suppressing RP's growth. Among the barriers to growth are: 1. Early adopters are few and far between; 2. adoption rate of CAD solid modeling; 3. computer-based modeling and prototyping; 4. costs; 5. the economic downturn; and 6. outdated information. XX
