Rapid prototyping, 3D printing, additive manufacturing are all terms for creating a part one fine layer at a time. Before a design gets made it is very useful to have a prototype made to verify the design and find any problems that may exist before it gets made. Rapid prototyping is a quick and affordable way to make a scaled or full size part or an entire assembly. I've invested in good equipment that can produce parts that are high enough in quality to make production parts in some cases. I have the capability to produce parts in a wide variety of plastic materials including some composite materials.
