PDFVorwort

Rapid Prototyping technology has become a powerful tool for rapid product development in almost every branch of industry. Many new and upcoming processes offer means for the fast creation of models with steadily increasing accuracy, build speed, model properties, and economic advantages.

This book wants to encourage engineers to incorporate Rapid Prototyping in their daily routine. It illustrates the benefits that come with the use of models at any stage of the product development process and defines the different types of models. It covers the fundamentals of Rapid Prototyping and the special capabilities of prototypers. It shows how digital production based on low volume rapid prototyped samples can be realized.

Rapid Prototyping - a technology nobody can afford to ignore.
