According to Avallone , Baumeister , Sadegh and Simeon Marks (1 ) rapid prototyping is a kind of modern technology that involves making of virtual objects over the computers and then using the ideas to make a real object . Since the technology began around the 1980s it has been used to produce a number of products in various fields of manufacturing either in large scale or in small scale (Kusiak , p1-4 . This includes the production in foods , mechanical equipments , learning materials

br agricultural materials , art objects and medical products among others

As discussed in Oberg , Jones , Horton , McCauley and Ryffel (1324 currently the rapid prototyping technology is involved in all production processes of the various products whenever it is used . Different technologies are used in rapid prototyping and the include use of computers in manufacturing and designing products . For example computer aided design involves the use of modern computer systems to design product features that can meet what the consumers would prefer to have for use in the market place (Parsaei and Sullivan 182 . This is done by first using the computer to create a design model of a product in a way it could be expected to be in reality and then making the actual product by using the model that was created in the computer

Computer aided design is also used to make designs of various objects and this way it makes work easier in designing because it is the computer that...
