Prototyping vs Rapid Prototyping Process is a new webpage that was just added to the new Prototyping Website that has just been released. This new Prototype Machining webpage has all of the information you need to know of Prototyping vs Rapid Prototyping and the main information you need to know on Prototyping Technologies. You can visit this Prototyping vs Rapid Prototyping Process webpage at: http://www.prototypezone.com/prototype/

Here is an excerpt from the new Prototyping vs Rapid Prototyping webpage:

“The word ‘rapid’ can be used relatively. The construction of models using present-day methods could take time ranging from a few hours to a few days. This depends on the technique used, along with the complexity and size of the model. The additive systems take less time. They can produce models within some hours. Some techniques such as ‘solid freedom fabrication’ make use of two materials for construction of parts. The 1st material is known as ‘part material’ and the 2nd one as ‘support material’. The removal of support material takes place by heat. It might also be dissolved with water or any other solvent. When it comes to manufacture of plastic products, that too in large quantities, injection molding proves to be a cheaper alternative.”
