Abstract
Rapid prototyping or solid freeform fabrication fundamentals and processes are described in this chapter. These include concepts of layer printing to produce 3D objects by fused deposition modeling and selective laser melting. Stereolithography as it is applied to fabrication by additive manufacturing forms the basis for these technologies for materials processing.
