Deep within the recesses of its top secret Warren Tech Center, General Motors has a laboratory that can actually grow car parts. Needless to say, the Rapid Prototyping Lab has had a profound impact on the automotive design process and we were lucky enough to witness firsthand how it's done.

Spin Casting has brought rapid prototype technology to a completely different level of production efficiency. With the capability of producing prototypes in different metals spin casting has given companies options never before experienced in rapid prototype techniques. Now with spin casting technology fragile, functional metal parts can be manufactured with rapid prototype models....
Rapid prototyping is the automatic construction of physical objects using additive manufacturing technology. To learn more about rapid prototyping, hereunder I explain a 5 steps process to create a 3d rapid prototyping model...
Methods and apparatus provide a means to rapidly develop and modify rapid prototype surface coverings for customer review and approval, and fill the commercial pipeline while more conventional production equipment is obtained, installed and tested. The present apparatus to rapid prototype and fill the commercial pipeline includes a digital printing system to print a film and a press for laminating and embossing the printed film to a substrate....
Having the ability to reconstruct items using rapid prototype has made a difference in many ways. One example would be the Buddha of Infinite Light, Amida. This is a carved figure made of wood and lacquered. Believed to have originated in the 13th century, it is a wonderful piece of art that tells us much about the earlier cultures. However, the Buddha is believed to have originally been adorned with a necklace, topknot and crown....
