AB The subject of this paper is Rapid Prototyping method which is a widely expanding technique for quick and modern production of prototypes, models and tools by means of non-conventional technological procedures. The paper further presents the ways in which the technique can be used in PhotoStress® method. In the effort to speed up the whole process of product development it is crucial to select appropriate production technology. With conventional methods applied, the production of models is often expensive and, in a number of cases, ineffective. Therefore, new technologies such as Rapid Prototyping are coming into focus. These high-quality technologies are faster and can be widely used in a variety of fields. Rapid Prototyping (RP) covers a group of technologies used in the production of component models or assembly groups while using 3D CAD (computer aided design) data.
