Concurrent engineering is the integration of the design and manufacturing processes. Using this process, reduces the time from design to production, changes are made as designing identifies them. Engineering and production costs are kept to a minimum.
Rapid prototyping is used to speed up the manufacturing process. In the past, prototyping may take as long as six months. Using rapid prototyping, design is sent directly to the rapid prototyping production, and taking only a few days or at the most a couple of weeks. This greatly reduces the cost of production.
