Abstract
The impact rapid prototyping (RP) can have on the design process and the product development process as a whole is demonstrated in this paper. The speed and flexibility of RP technologies decreased the overall time to complete the new product. This also ensured that the final mechanical enclosure of the new handheld video game incorporated the ergonomic design features that users desired.
