Rapid prototyping is a design and manufacturing approach that allows for the quick creation of physical models or prototypes of a product using computer-aided design (CAD) and various fabrication techniques. This methodology emphasizes speed, efficiency, and iterative development, enabling designers and engineers to test, evaluate, and refine their concepts rapidly before final production.
