The Rapid Prototyping Report in 1992 defined RP as

The Fabrication of a physical, three dimensional part of arbitrary shape
directly from a numerical description (typically a CAD model) by a quick,
highly automated and totally flexible process.

Does this definition define what you do with rapid prototyping? Should it
be expanded and if so how would you change it?
