What is Rapid Prototyping?(Main article: rapid prototyping) Let's say you lay down or "extrude" a circle of epoxy onto a platform. This circle is part of a cylinder. Then you lay down another circle on top of it. Several circles on top of each other such as here will eventually result in a three dimensional cylinder. This is rapid prototyping at work. Slicing an object into two dimensional layers, and building each layer on top of each other. Machines that do as such are known as rapid prototypers.
