Rapid prototyping

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000320

The fast fabrication of a physical part, model, or assembly using three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data. This process allows for quick iteration and testing of designs before committing to mass production. Additive manufacturing technologies are frequently employed for rapid prototyping due to their ability to produce complex geometries directly from digital models.
