	Abstract	
    Rapid Prototyping (RP) System has become an essential tool in the designing  and prototyping phases of product development by virtue of its remarkable  technological progress. Among other things, moldings made by the powder  laser sintering RP system can be used for actual products in terms of  mechanical properties and time-tested stability, as well as fewer  manufacturing constraints as compared with the conventional methods will  enable design-driven product designs. This paper provides the latest  information concerning application of the RP system to manufacturing of  actual products.
