Abstract

3D printing technology is a quick and relatively easy way of making prototypes. The main advantage of using the technology of Rapid Prototyping (RP) is the direct printing of 3D models from CAD / CAM data without the need for additional operations. The RP technology of manufacturing 3-D models allows faster communication and faster evaluation of various engineering solutions and concepts, and easier communication with partners and vendors. The results are visible in a shorter product development cycle and a shorter design cycle. The article presents several RP technologies that are in use today.
