From the early 1990s, rapid prototyping (RP) system integration has become the desire of both industries and researchers. Presents a summary of findings from the Internet Conference on the state of the art of RP system integration. Attempts to define “integration” and relates it to RP technology. Presents technical issues that can enable RP system integration and the benefits of such integration. Finally, identifies and highlights key requirements for the success of RP integrated systems.
