How it Works

After seeing the Rapid Prototyping machine in action, make some predictions on how the machine works. What do you think happens when you press the "print" button and the machine begins to "print"?

Professions

Consider the following scenarios:
- Artists use Rapid Protoyping in many ways. As an artist, you might have the idea, but not the skills to actually “create” your idea. For example, a jeweler is an artist that often has ideas with intricate lines and details. Hand-crafting is often difficult.

- At times, advertising agents are asked to design logos and products for companies to advertise their business or package their products. As a designer, you can think of many ideas but not all of them will work. Before sending your ideas to production, you want to test them out.

- Chocolatiers are masters of hand-crafted chocolates. Chocolate, however, can sometimes be difficult to work with. As a chocolatier you may be charged with designing a chocolate piece with many intricate details beyond your ability to hand-craft.

Consider one or more of these professions. How can this machine help? Or can it?
