Rapid prototyping is a brand new technology in creation of three-dimensional models of the ordered product. Less than 20 years ago rapid prototyping was just a project , the technology of the future whereas today it is a reality and very enhanced reality. In the past all prototyping models were created manually, the process was time-consuming and expensive. That is why specialists in the sphere of prototyping admitted the necessity to implement something new inexperienced before. It was not an experiment but glaring necessity because the obsolescence of the former technology became more and more obvious. As we can see, rapid prototyping technology came instead of old-fashioned unproductive technology that had to be replaced. RP (the shortened name of the technology, used more often than the full variant) became a starting point in production of the artificial copies of any existing object irrespectively of its size and shape, the production, called rapid prototyping. What is the essence of this new process? RP is a machine prototyping, carried out without human
