Rapid prototyping & tooling

"Rapid prototyping" refers to the various additive man-ufacturing methods used for rapid production of speci-men components. Rapid tooling is another technology that speeds up product manufacturing. It takes ad-vantage of additive manufacturing techniques to pro-duce tools. This topic shows how you can benefit from rapid manufacturing methods.
