Abstract:Rapid Prototyping is capable of producing prototypes of almost any geometrical complexity in relatively short time using the additive manufacturing approach. This paper describes the advantages and limitations of Z Corporation Three Dimensional Printing rapid prototyping technique in the very important and costly stage of product design. A product design case study is used to illustrate the various stages of the process and appraise the result. It will show the time and cost savings that can be achieved in the development of the product under consideration.
