Abstract

<jats:p>Prototyping technology is becoming vital in the business as a means of cutting costs and manufacturing time. At present, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping are important technologies that enhance prototype development. The traditional approaches require various intricate processes, such as selective heat sintering (SHS), digital-light-processing printer (DLP), remote distributed rapid prototyping model (RDRP), Stereo Lithography (STL) models, and reconstructing computer-aided design (CAD) models from scanned point data and these approaches has limitations in terms of time-consuming and expert knowledge required for automation. This study aims to explore the significance of Industry 4.0 and its impact on rapid prototyping. The study also addresses rapid prototyping in computer network architecture; digital-light-processing printers (DLP) in rapid prototyping, and software-defined network (SDN) networks in the context of rapid prototyping. Along with this powder bed fusion (PBF) method and electron beam melting (EBM) are included in the manuscript. Based on our exploration, the study suggested vital recommendations for the advancement in rapid prototyping using Industry 4.0</jats:p>
