benefits
Since the technology of rapid 3D printing is very cost effective compared to other RPT technologies, the possibility to test designs in their very early state is now within reach. This has been a strong wish for a very long time, since having the model in hand to determine small but important details often saves a lot of work with nearly identical designs, to be able to choose the one and only.
Also the printing of high-definition models, means you no longer have to wait for expensive prototypes, you can evaluate physical models of design concepts in their nearly finished state.
The benefit of testing a design before going into costly tool making and production eliminates a lot of mistakes and saves a lot of money.
