User's Guide to Rapid Prototyping.User's Guide to Rapid Prototyping (1) Creating a demo of a new system. Prototyping is essential for clarifying information requirements. The design of a system (functional specs) must be finalized before the system can be built. While analytically-oriented people may have a clear picture of requirements, others may not. Using fourth-generation languages, systems analysts and users can develop the new system together. Databases can be created and manipulated while the user monitors the progress.. By Todd A. Grimm. Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Dearborn, MI (2004). This book is a practical guide that offers a comprehensive understanding of rapid prototyping Turning 3D models in the computer into actual, physical 3D objects. Machines are available that build prototypes from various materials such as paper and liquid polymer. Increasingly, such machines are used to build actual parts. See stereo lithography. See also RAD. through a discussion of applications, operations, advantages and limitations. Readers are said to discover when and how rapid prototyping saves time, reduces costs and improves product quality. |
