3D Printing Rapid Prototyping

3D Printing is an alternate means of rapid prototyping.

In the 3D printing rapid prototyping process, powder is deposited and fused to create a 3-dimensional prototype layer by layer. Unbound powder is blown off and the completed structure is sealed with wax or glue to increase durability.

This is a basic overview of 3D printing rapid prototyping technology. For more information, please review our article on rapid technology prototyping.
