RP technology is integrated and developed on the basis of modern CAD/CAM technology, laser technology, computer numerical control technology, precision servo drive technology and new material technology. Different types of rapid prototyping systems have different forming principles and system characteristics due to the different forming materials used. However, the basic principle is the same, that is, "layer-by-layer manufacturing, layer-by-layer superposition", which is similar to the mathematical integration process. Visually speaking, the rapid prototyping system is like a "stereo printer".

It can directly accept product design (CAD) data without preparing any molds, tools and fixtures, and quickly manufacture new product prototypes, molds or models. Therefore, the promotion and application of RP technology can greatly shorten the development cycle of new products, reduce development costs, and improve development quality. From the traditional "removal method" to today's "growth method", from mold manufacturing to moldless manufacturing, this is the revolutionary significance of RP technology to the manufacturing industry.

RP technology discretizes the complex three-dimensional processing of a solid into a series of layers, which greatly reduces the difficulty of processing. It has the following characteristics:
(1) The rapidity of the whole molding process is suitable for the modern fierce product market;
(2) It can manufacture three-dimensional entities of any complex shape;
(3) It is directly driven by the CAD model to achieve a high degree of integration of design and manufacturing, and its intuitiveness and ease of modification provide an excellent design environment for the perfect design of products;
⑷ The molding process does not require special fixtures, molds, and tools, which not only saves costs, but also shortens the production cycle.
⑸ The high degree of integration of technology is not only the inevitable product of the development of modern science and technology, but also the comprehensive application of them.
