Abstract
Rapid prototyping (RP) is fast becoming a “strategic” technology, one that cannot be simply overlooked. This is because the production of a physical prototype from the computer model can be achieved in a very short turnaround time and without the fuss required by NC programming systems. In Singapore, like many countries around the world, there is great interest in this emerging technology. Discusses the evolution of the RP scene in Singapore from 1988 to 1997.
