PhilC is right when he calls it Rapid Prototyping ;o) Here, were I work, we have a number of Rapid Prototyping machines. There are a number of different types that can use different materials and processes. One we have just purchased can make 3D objects from corn starch (yes, it is food grade!); the benefit of which is material cost, as it is a damn site cheaper than using wax or resin...it can also help out when you are hungry as well LOL! The problem with Rapid Prototyping, is the cost. Even though materials, such as corn starch are cheap (although Wax and Resin models can run into $100's per cubic inch), the machines are not, so overheads are high.
