Since rapid prototyping came into being, many businesses
provided with the service of prototype development. Earlier, such companies
were known as service bureaus and they allowed the users to access the unproven
and expensive technology. In the early period of rapid prototyping, these
service bureaus provided with advantages of prototype development minus the
soaring upfront expenses and major risks of applying a new technology that was
relatively unverified and hovering on the brink of rapid obsolescence. In the
beginning, the service bureaus provided file conversions for narrowing the
operational gap amidst 2D data and 3D CAD models. Due to this, the large
companies that had not yet transitioned to solid modeling were benefited
greatly.

Rapid prototyping is a process by which a working model or
prototype is developed to test the various design ideas, features, concepts, use,
functionality and performance. The user can immediately give a feedback to the
producer. The technology of rapid prototyping is quite revolutionary and
innovative and has found widespread applications in nearly all types of
industries. The prototypes can be developed on the basis of past design and its
performance and necessary modifications can be made to refine the final product
as per the requirements. Rapid prototyping has manifold advantages like
reduction of process cost, time and risks, conceptualizing of the actual
product, delivery of high quality product, better communications and so on.
