Rapid prototyping technology can directly accept product design (CAD) data and rapidly manufacture new product samples, molds or models without preparing any molds, tools and fixtures. Therefore, the promotion and application of RP technology can greatly shorten the new product development cycle, reduce the development cost and improve the development quality.

不同种类的快速成型系统因所用成形材料不同，成形原理和系统特点也各有不同。但是，其基本原理都是一样的，那就是"分层制造，逐层叠加"。形象地讲，快速成形系统就像是一台"立体打印机"。而随着快速成型技术应用和普及，越来越多的企业感受到该项技术在产品开发和设计过程中所带来的效益。

Different kinds of rapid prototyping systems have different forming principles and system characteristics because of different forming materials. However, the basic principle is the same, that is, "layered manufacturing, layer by layer stack.". Figuratively speaking, the rapid prototyping system is like a "stereo printer". With the application and popularization of rapid prototyping technology, more and more enterprises feel the benefits of the technology in the process of product development and design.

3D打印技术是一系列快速原型成型技术的统称，其基本原理都是叠层制造，由快速原型机在X-Y平面内通过扫描形式形成工件的截面形状，而在Z坐标间断地作层面厚度的位移，从而形成三维制件。

3D printing technology is the general name of a series of rapid prototyping technology. Its basic principle is laminated manufacturing. The rapid prototyping machine forms the cross-section shape of the workpiece by scanning in the X-Y plane, and displaces the layer thickness intermittently in the Z coordinate, so as to form 3D parts.
