What Is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping speeds up your product development by turning digital models into physical parts. Reducing costs, improving testing, and shortening iteration cycles. Parts can often be created in just a few days, making it easier to test and refine form, fit, and function.

There are different ways to perform rapid prototyping. These methods ultimately depend on your part’s material and complexity. Common techniques include rapid 3D prototyping, which uses additive manufacturing to build parts layer-by-layer. CNC rapid prototyping uses subtractive machining to produce parts from blocks of metal or plastic. Rapid sheet metal prototyping that shapes flat sheets through laser cutting and bending.

No matter which method you choose, the core principles of rapid prototyping remain the same. Speed and cost-efficiency.
