快速成型（RP）是从计算机模型生产物理模型，而不需要任何夹具或夹具或数控（NC）编程。该技术也被称为层制造、材料存款制造、材料添加制造、固体自由成形制造和三维打印。在过去的十年中，一些RP技术已经开发这些技术使用不同的方法或材料在生产原型，他们给不同的收缩率，表面光洁度和精度。虚拟原型（VP）是在一个完全开发的计算机模型上进行分析和模拟，因此执行相同的测试对物理原型。它有时也被称为计算机辅助工程（CAE）或工程分析simulation.This本文介绍了两种原型技术的比较研究，其在产品设计和制造的相关性。这项研究调查的适用性和有效性，这两种技术在各个方面的原型，这是一个整体的设计和制造周期的一部分。
Rapid prototyping (RP) is the production of a physical model from a computer model without the need for any jig or fixture or numerically controlled (NC) programming. This technology has also been referred to as layer manufacturing, material deposit manufacturing, material addition manufacturing, solid freeform manufacturing and three-dimensional printing. In the last decade, a number of RP techniques has been developed These techniques use different approaches or materials in producing prototypes and they give varying shrinkage, surface finish and accuracy.Virtual prototyping (VP) is the analysis and simulation carried out on a fully developed computer model, therefore performing the same tests as those on the physical prototypes. It is also sometimes referred to as computer-aided engineering (CAE) or engineering analysis simulation.This paper describes a comparative study of the two proto-typing technologies with respect to their relevance in product design and manufacture. The study investigates the suitability and effectiveness of both technologies in the various aspects of prototyping which is part and parcel of an overall design and manufacturing cycle.
