To
get a new product inexpensively to the market, you have to do it quickly. One
way to gain some time is to shorten the design process. A prototype is
indispensable. Conventional prototyping takes weeks or even months, depending
on the product and the method used. Rapid prototyping is a method to make these
prototypes much more quicker and also more cost-effective. Furthermore rapid
prototyping is capable of making parts with very
small internal cavity and complex geometrics. It is possible to see the real
product in an early stage of the process of bringing a new product to the
market.
