One of the critical factors in competitive technology is “time to market” along with foolproof design. This critical factor indicates the entire product design cycle from concept to product design to prototype to manufacturing process design to actual implementation. To have command over this critical factor Computer aided designing (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) is taking hold as a mean of speeding the time to market for new product development. Recently rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing is the emerging field which fulfills this demand.This paper describes different methods of rapid prototyping and use of CAD techniques in RPT techniques to shorten the time to market and further for research and development of new products.
