In order to increase competitiveness in conditions of open markets and the obvious trend of unification and reduction of number of products in series, more companies seek to reduce the development process and manufacturing of parts and tools  maintaining the existing quality and prices of final products. The evolution of technology development of Rapid Prototyping in accordance with the requirements mentioned above has resulted in the creation of a series of processes that allow the direct hard tooling from 3D CAD files based on the principles of rapid prototyping, called Rapid Tooling and Manufacturing-RT&M. In this paper such RT&M processes are presented.
