Methods are used to produce the more costly rapid prototypes include those that produce models within a few hours. They include photopolymerization, laser tooling, and their modifications. The laser sintering process uses powdered TP rather than chemically reactive liquid photopolymer used in stereolithography. Models are usually made from certain types of plastics. Also used in the different processes are metals (steel, hard alloys, copper-based alloys, and powdered metals). With powder metal molds, they can be used as inserts in a mold ready to produce prototype products. These systems enable having precise control over the process and constructing products with complex geometries. 

Like other tool steels, hard material alloys are supplied in the soft-annealed condition where they can be machined. After the subsequent heat treatment, which should if possible be carried out in vacuumhardening furnaces, the hard materials attain a hardness of about 70 HRC. Because of the high carbide content dimensional changes after the heat treatment are only about half as great as those in steels produced by the metallurgical melting processes.

Forging and extrusion do not involve the removal of metal by means of cutting tools. Many important shaping processes are based on cutting operations. Cutting tools are made of special steels (tool steels), hard metals, oxide ceramics, and diamond. 

The metals are silvery-white but tarnish rapidly in air. The earliest members La and Ce are as soft as tin hardness increases with atomic number, vSm being steel-hard. The m.p. of the first four are in the range 815 -930, but samarium melts at about 1350°. They have the h.c.p., f.c.c. or b.c.c. structures typical of the true metals, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. 

Examples include low-carbon steel (C in Fe, which is soft enough to be stamped), high-carbon steel (hard and brittle unless subject to heat treatment), and stainless steel (a mixture of Fe with metals such as Cr and Ni, which aid in its resistance to corrosion).

Cylindrical samples are machined from the crude samples by turning on a lathe, whereby also the base surfaces have to be rectified. For this purpose steel, hard metal or diamond tools can be used. The operating parameters may differ from one metal or alloy to another, but must always end up in flat and clean surfaces. As a result of several years of international cooperation within BCR, the Central Bureau for Nuclear Measurements (C.B.N.M.), Geel,...
