Abstract:
-
This discussion paper proposes that development of formalized standards for the
rapid prototyping (RP) industry will help enable the continued growth and further
advancement of RP technologies. Appropriate standards can provide common methods
for measuring the benefits and limitations of RP, as well as facilitate the transition
of current advanced rapid manufacturing capabilities from the research laboratory
to commercial products. Results and recommendations from a prior RP industry
workshop at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (October 1997)
form the basis for this discussion paper. This discussion paper is submitted to
gather additional information and obtain further viewpoints regarding the need
for and potential content of standards for the RP industry.
