Rapid prototyping is the process of quickly turning a product idea into a physical prototype using digital design and modern manufacturing technologies.

With advanced methods such as 3D printing and CNC machining, prototypes can be made from engineering-grade plastics or metals, and finished with optional surface treatments for enhanced appearance and performance.

This process allows designers and engineers to test form, fit, and function early, make fast design iterations, reduce development risk, and accelerate time to market.
