Unique attributes

Rapid Prototyping Journal provides industrialists and academics with essential information regarding research into the development and application of rapid prototyping and related technologies. The journal concentrates on rapid product development in a manufacturing environment but applications within other areas, such as medicine and construction, are also covered. A double-blind review process ensures the content's validity and relevance.

Topicality

As a factor in meeting market demands quickly and accurately and working towards manufacture using the most cost-effective combination of quality materials, machinery and labour, rapid prototyping is probably the most critical phase in new product development. Because technology is developing so rapidly across all manufacturing industries, it is essential to keep pace with new developments and current applications to make rapid prototyping the speedy process it should be.

Key benefits

Because all papers published in this field are scattered over a wide range of international publications, none of which actually specializes in this particular discipline, this journal is a vital resource for academics, researchers, engineers and new product development experts. It draws together important refereed papers on all aspects of rapid prototyping from distinguished sources all over the world, to give a truly international perspective on this dynamic and exciting area.
