        Special Issue Description

        Nowadays, metal or plastic parts can be prototyped and manufactured quickly. Full-color prototypes can be created as well. Using computer data, manufacturers can apply rapid prototyping methods such as stereolithography (3D printing), selective laser sintering, ColorJet printing, direct metal printing, fused deposition modeling, and even CNC machining options. Various rapid prototyping and 3D printing methods enable concept models to be created. A physical concept model can demonstrate and communicate ideas to designers, engineers, and stakeholders more easily than a virtual one can. Functional prototypes can be created, incorporating every design detail and allowing for extensive testing before full production is scheduled. From the fit of parts to the function and manufacturability of a product, all aspects of it can be assessed.
