The document outlines the history and evolution of rapid prototyping, beginning from the 1960s in manufacturing with the introduction of computer-controlled tools and CAD systems. It discusses various applications in manufacturing, design, and business processes, emphasizing the implementation of rapid prototyping in instructional design to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. The document also compares classic and spiral cycles of prototyping, detailing a practical example of creating a paper airplane to illustrate the refinement process.
