A group of techniques used to fabricate a model of a part or the entire assembly is known as rapid prototyping. 3D computer-aided design data are used for prototyping.SLA, SLS, LOM, FDM, SGC, and Ink Jet printing techniques are various rapid prototyping technologies that are commercially available. SLA technique is the most widely used, which was developed by 3D Systems. 3D printers were first used in rapid prototyping, which aided in visual presentation models. Prototypes are manufactured to obtain approval from engineers before the ultimate production process becomes operational. At present, many engineering and design organizations use 3D printers for rapid prototyping.
