NIST's support of rapid prototyping standards

Author(s)

Abstract

Recent activities and interactions with industry have suggested to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that formal standards for rapid prototyping could stimulate the growth and advancement of the technologies involved. Standards could provide common methods for measuring the benefits and limits of rapid prototyping. They could also hasten the transfer of rapid manufacturing capabilities still in the research laboratory to commercial products.
