• Speed The time spent using rapid prototyping techniques has decreased by as much as 90% compared to other prototype methods. Creating the tooling for injection molding and other conventional prototyping processes can take days. With rapid prototyping‚ the same model parts can be made within hours. • Time to Market The faster a prototype is created‚ the quicker designers and engineers can analyze it for design flaws and make necessary adjustments. The next step after making these adjustments
