Abstract
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or
assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. Construction of the part or assembly is usually
done using 3D printing technology. The first techniques for rapid prototyping became available in the late 1980s and
were used to produce models and prototype parts. Today, they are used for a much wider range of applications and are
even used to manufacture production-quality parts in relatively small numbers. Some sculptors use the technology to
produce exhibitions. Rapid application development (RAD) is a software development methodology that uses minimal
planning in favor of rapid prototyping. The "planning" of software developed using RAD is interleaved with writing the
software itself. The lack of extensive pre-planning generally allows software to be written much faster, and makes it
easier to change requirements. In this paper we discussed a survey of performance based advanced rapid prototyping
techniques. The performance based techniques are categorized based upon different approaches. We also analysis the
major improvement in recent methods advanced rapid prototyping techniques.
