3. What is a Prototype
A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product
built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be
replicated or learned from and to enhance precision by system
analysts and users
4. Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate
a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-
dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. Construction of the
part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive layer
manufacturing" technology.
Digital Prototyping gives conceptual design,
engineering, manufacturing, and sales and
marketing departments the ability to
virtually explore a complete product before
it's built.
5. WHAT IS
A process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional
digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers
of a material.

12. The ratchet wrench was designed by Noah Paul-Gin, an engineer at
Made In Space Inc., a northern California company that NASA
contracted to design, build and operate the printer. Paul-Gin created a
3-D model of the ratchet and made several wrenches, such as the one
shown here on an identical printer.
