Rapid Manufacturing [E-Book] : The Technologies and Applications of Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Tooling / by D. T. Pham, S. S. Dimov.
Rapid Manufacturing is a term that embraces rapid prototyping and rapid tooling. Rapid prototyping is an exciting new technology for quickly creating physical models and functional prototypes directly from CAD models. Rapid tooling generally concerns the production of tooling using parts manufacture...
