Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 31SDP
Rapid-prototyping machines represent a large capital investment; consequently, few companies can justify the purchase of their own system. Thus, service companies that produce parts based on their customers drawings have become common. Conduct an informal survey of such service companies, identify the classes of rapid-prototyping machines that they use, and determine the percentage use of each class.

Q1. Define and explain the benefits of Rapid Prototyping and discuss the term 3D Printing. Please provide a critique of the expectations being discussed in the popular media in relation to this concept and any products that have been successfully brought to market using this method of production.
Q2. A local product designer and manufacturer of injection moulded precision plastic components for the EU medical device industry has recently had a number of customer requests to provide small quantity production runs of components (200 off) to his customers. He has been requested by customers may initially order 200,000 of the item however they are uncertain as to the subsequent volume of sales of the product. He has been requested by customers to consider using 3D printing to fulfil these sales orders given the large number of magazine typepublications in the news media.It is essential that the prototype components are consistent with one another and can be used in compliance with the…
