Rapid prototyping refers to technologies used to quickly fabricate prototype parts and models for design evaluation and testing. Two major material categories used in rapid prototyping are plastics and elastomers.
Plastics like ABS, PLA, and PC are commonly used in additive manufacturing processes like fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA). These materials enable creation of detailed plastic prototypes with good dimensional accuracy, texture, and tensile strength. Different plastics have varying properties suited for visual mockups, form-fit evaluations, or functional testing.
