Rapid prototyping is the automatic construction of physical objects using solid free form fabrication. These physical models convey more complete information about a product, as well as earlier in the development cycle.

Rapid prototyping takes virtual designs from computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software, transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal cross-sections and then creates each cross-section in physical space, one after the next until the model is finished.
