Jim,
I wasn't trying to be a smart a**. RP is Rapid Prototyping,
and really has nothing to do with Triumphs. I am sorry if
I offended you or anyone else, that was not my intention.
Rapid Prototyping is the creation of parts directly from
CAD without any tooling. It utilizes several different
technologies, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Stereolithgraphy (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
and the Z-Corp systems are the most common systems.
Further info on these and other systems is available at
http://www.cc.utah.edu/~asn8200/rapid.html or at

Cheers,
Doug
