Rapid prototyping is a set of techniques industrial times to realize the so-called prototype. These can be conceptual, functional or technical. In any case can perform different functions in company: can serve to evaluate costs, cycle times, response of the market and so on.
Without this premise this module is divided into two parts: the first, the student will deepen the knowledge on the concept of the prototype and the different methods, to date, available to produce it. In the second part of the course the student will design a prototype from a conceptual approach to the realization of the same.
During the course it will investigate the concepts on the design, development and the available rapid prototype production.

- Reverse Engineering (RE)
- Computer Aided Design (CAD)
- Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
- Design for Additive Manufacturing (DAM)
Rapid prototyping techniques
- prototype concept
