Rapid prototyping
The use of innovative methods saves time and costs, and hence leads to inexpensive products. The consistent use of rapid prototyping is one method of producing prototypes and models at an early stage quickly and easily.

The 3D CAD data forms the basis for the production of prototypes. This data is then enhanced and transferred to downstream machining processes (e.g. CNC milling, selective laser sintering).
The 3D CAD designs are converted as volume files in the CAD system. The 3D volume model for rapid prototyping is subsequently divided into cross-sections in the computer. These cross-sections are about 0.1-0.2 mm thick. After transferring the data to a rapid prototyping machine, the original form is built up again layer by layer.
The special feature of rapid prototyping is that no moulds have to be built in order to produce a three-dimensional part. Nor does the element have to be fabricated mechanically by any processes. It is for this reason that rapid prototyping methods are much faster and less expensive than building conventional prototypes.
