Abstract :

In Rapid Prototyping model contains different processes which avoids tooling time in manufacturing prototypes or prototype parts and that allows a prototypes to be produced within hours or days rather than weeks. These prototypes are frequently used to check the products technical feasibility or consumer interest. Rapid Prototyping is defined as a set of technologies used to quickly build a scale model of a component using 3-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) software data. Rapid Prototyping decreases development time and corrections is made in product in early stage. Rapid Prototyping is layer-by-layer material deposition started during early 1980s with the tremendous growth in CAD/CAM technology. The edges and surfaces of a complex solid model and their information which is used for describing the product and next the further manufacturing process is completed in CNC machine. The Rapid Prototyping is one of extraordinary technology that reorganizing the making process. The Prototype techniques can also be used to make tooling is said to as rapid tooling and even quality in part. Designers have always used Prototypes and RP allows the user to work faster and it is less expensive. For small production runs and complicated objects, rapid prototyping is a best developing method available. The rapid is a relative term. Most of the prototypes model need a three to seventy two hours for developing. It is depend upon its size and complexity of the component.
