| Processes | RPT - Rapid prototyping |
|---|---|
|
RPT is an acronym for a group of processes capable of producing prototypes of a complex geometry in various materials (wax, plastic, metal, etc.).
The dominating types of RPT produce objects in a laminated way, i.e. layer by layer, by using CAD/NC data. |

Price notes
|
Price is generally proportional to the time consumption on the machine. This means that price increases with finer layer thickness, increased volume, as well as increased part height. |
