About Rapid Prototyping Services
Rapid prototyping services automate the fabrication of prototype parts from three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) drawings. These physical models convey more complete information about a product, and earlier in the development cycle. Although conventional prototyping may take weeks or even months, rapid prototyping services can offer turnaround times of just several days. By guiding a product from concept to market quickly and inexpensively, rapid prototyping services can help customers remain competitive while controlling costs. Selection criteria for rapid prototyping services include capabilities, additional services, geographic location, and quality standards or approvals. Other terms used for these companies include desktop manufacturing, automated fabrication, tool-less manufacturing, and free-form fabrication.
