Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. systems and sells the rolls of sheet-form materials and other supplies used with its systems. Rapid prototyping systems are used in conjunction conjunction, in astronomy conjunction, in astronomy, alignment of two celestial bodies as seen from the earth. Conjunction of the moon and the planets is often determined by reference to the sun. with 3D CAD CAD: see computer-aided design. (Computer-Aided Design) Using computers to design products. CAD systems are high-speed workstations or desktop computers with CAD software. design workstations and other platforms and allow manufacturers, design engineering firms and other businesses to automatically create physical models, industrial patterns and prototypes directly from the computer generated design. By significantly reducing the time and effort required to produce complex models and prototypes, rapid prototyping can substantially lower the cost and increase the efficiency of many product design processes. The company's rapid prototyping systems have been used in the design and development of products ranging from golf club heads to automobile automobile, self-propelled vehicle used for travel on land. The term is commonly applied to a four-wheeled vehicle designed to carry two to six passengers and a limited amount of cargo, as contrasted with a truck, which is designed primarily for the transportation of engine blocks.

A laser beam then sequentially se·quen·tial adj. 1. Forming or characterized by a sequence, as of units or musical notes. 2. Sequent. se·quen cuts these cross-sections out of layers of sheet-form material, such as paper or plastic film. Each successive layer of material is bonded to the stack of previously cut layers, and at the end of the LOM process the excess material is removed to reveal a physical model of the object or product being designed.
