4. Conclusion

The coupling of 3D scanning and rapid prototyping is now a permanent feature of what are known as "rapid product development processes". With rapid prototyping, we're moving decisively towards reducing the number of intermediate stages required to produce functional or near-functional objects.

The joint development of digitizing sensors and modeling software has enabled integrated approaches to be put in place, providing a framework for a new production mode known as Mass Customization.

The notion of the uniqueness of the manufactured object has become crucial, and both the methodological context and the information model must take these developments into account.

Instead of marginalizing additive manufacturing techniques, they have...
