Overview
FrançaisABSTRACT
In the BM 7 017 article taken from "techniques de l’ingénieur", Patrice Dubois, Améziane Aoussat and Robert Duchamp give an initial overview of the basics of rapid prototyping. They mainly focus on the different technologies of rapid prototyping (layer by layer manufacturing) and rapid tooling. In this article we mainly focus on the different applications. The technological group composed by 3D digitising and Rapid prototyping is considered from an engineering context process. The various users, whatever their role be within the product development process, are described according to their needs thanks to the presentation of "well known" industrial applications from the relevant field. These are illustrated and used in order that the connection between the user, the need, and the technology, be made.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
Today, 3D scanning and rapid prototyping are widely used throughout the product lifecycle, by many different players. The design/industrialization/manufacturing of mechanical products is no longer the only core business using these principles. Today, measuring objects in 2D, and even more so in 3D, has become an indispensable tool in many related fields:
convenience goods ;
automobile ;
aeronautics ;
electronics ;
medical ;
luxury ;
architecture ;
military...
So, with the evolution of technical graphics tools, modeling a real object, a prototype, or any other intermediate representation produced during its life cycle, is no longer a digital gadget, but an indispensable phase in integrating the needs of reality into the virtual world.
In the same way that 2D flatbed scanners have been democratized, perhaps reverse engineering will soon find more popular applications with the arrival on the "consumer" market of 3D cameras, for example.
