Rapid prototyping branches out

摘要

According to [Jim Glymph], rapid prototyping is making huge changes in how the company works. Long before any computers were a part of architecture, [Frank Gehry] relied on physical 3D models as his primary design tool. Thus, using advanced 3D modeling tools and outputting the results via RP tools is about the only sensible way to make computer-aided design work in the firm.
