• Sommario/riassunto: Illustrates the benefits that come with the use of models at any stage of the product development process and defines the different types of models. The book covers the fundamentals of Rapid Prototyping and the special capabilities of prototypers, and shows how digital production based on low volume rapid prototyped samples can be realised.
