The term "rapid technologies" covers both rapid prototyping and rapid tooling. In the early stages of the development process, engineers quickly need to get their hands on physical prototypes for inspection or even for use as functional models. Rapid prototyping involves using the computer to break components down into thin layers. A range of different processes can then be applied to create physical models of the components, for example the laser sinter technology (SLS) or methods using polyamide powder or CAD data. If higher numbers of pieces are required, we can convent the designed components in various dimensions with classical rapid technologies, as for example the vacuum downpour and the low pressure injection. The purpose of rapid tooling is to produce original parts before the tools for series production have been completed.
