Abstracts: The project presents an overview of approaches in rapid product development from the design point of view. Due to the advances in mechanical, electronics and computer components, there has been significant growth in communication, information technology and world wide networking, which leads to globalization and opening of markets, hence increases in worldwide competition among industries. The evolution of the market necessitates the reduction of time to market mainly because of the product life cycle is shorter and also because it is very important to proceed more rapidly from an initial conception to mass production object. In product development, Rapid prototyping has turned out to be the instrument to save time and money and also develop innovative products. RP has evolved a frontier and emerging technology in which every individual can see the goal.
