What is Rapid Manufacturing

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Trends in Product Design and Development: Technological and Organizational Perspectives
A computer technology, the embodiment of the concept that allows defining elements or modules with well defined interfaces and “hooks” in a way that the process of manufacturing can be: developed in an independent manner, customized based on installation specific data, based on formal models of controller behaviour, amenable to automatic generation of control software modules, and reconfigurable to adapt to changes in the environment through changes to data and/or regeneration of control software.

Abstract
This chapter presents the rapid prototyping and manufacturing concepts applied as means to reducing time between jewellery designs and manufacturing process. Different processes on jewellery modelling production are presented. Nowadays, the use of technologies as CAD/CAM - Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing in high production companies are very disseminated. However, the implementation of these resources at the design and manufacturing processes of jewels and fashion accessories, in small and medium size businesses, is still insipient. As reference, is presented the situation observed in small and medium companies located in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
