Abstract
This paper looks at how rapid prototyping (RP) technologies and new design methods are changing traditional manufacturing processes. By looking at the recent changes in additive manufacturing (AM), from its beginnings in the 1980s to how it is used today, we see how these technologies are changing product development and industry practices. The combination of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) has allowed for great flexibility in making complex shapes while cutting down on material waste and production time. The study shows how computeraided design (CAD) software, artificial intelligence, and rapid prototyping work well together. This combination leads to better design efficiency and allows for more customized products. The main findings show that this technology has a wide effect on many areas, like aerospace, healthcare, and automotive industries. It has helped in speeding up the prototyping process and making manufacturing more sustainable. The study also highlights how user centered design methods and generative design tools can improve product development processes. This detailed study shows that the ongoing development of quick prototyping technologies, along with improved design methods, is pushing manufacturing towards a future that is more efficient, sustainable, and innovative.
