Introduction
Rapid prototyping is the automatic construction of physical
objects using solid freeform fabrication.
Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) is a technique for
manufacturing solid objects by the sequential delivery of
energy and/or material to specified points in space to produce
that solid.
SFF is sometimes referred to as rapid prototyping, rapid
manufacturing, layered manufacturing and additive
fabrication.
Used mostly in the development stage of a new product or
low production quantity

Introduction (cont.)
RP takes virtual designs from CAD or animation modeling
software, transforms them into thin horizontal cross sections,
still virtual, and then creates each cross section in physical
space, one after the next until the model is finished.
The machine reads in data from a CAD drawing and lays down
successive layers of liquid, powder, or sheet material, and in
this way builds up the model from a series of cross sections.
These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross section
from the CAD model, are joined together or fused
automatically to create the final shape.

Computational Steps in
Rapid Prototyping
The computational steps in
producing a stereolithography file.
(a) Three-dimensional description of
each part.
(b) The part is divided into slices
(only one in 10 is shown).
(c) Support material is planned.
(d) A set of tool directions is
determined to manufacture each
slice. Also shown is the extruder
path at section A-A from (c) for a
fused-deposition-modeling
operation.
