Rapid prototyping is a trend of reproducing challenging designing since last one decade with a potential domain of applications. Various types of rapid prototyping have been introduced since Cold War for the development of advanced state of defense and space articles. Depending on the purpose, it would be likely to be implemented; material selections become a sensitive issue with a lot of challenges. This chapter deals with a comprehensive context of rapid prototyping of soft material of different graded of polymers, and its functions, as well as capabilities till recent date. Different modes of polymer-based soft-rapid prototyping of different length scales as well as of different planes are represented here with a holistic approach to address recent issue of challenges. Polymeric gel described mostly in this chapter is hydrogel, with its potential interference in the field of biomedical industries. A detailed methodology of …
