Rapid prototyping is a new technology that I am very interested in. It started back in the mid 1980's in California. It is used to help decrease costly mistakes early in the design process. This is going to help manufacturers create better products in shorter amounts of time. Although the models created in prototyping aren't typically strong enough to be a final part. Over time I am sure technology will find ways to prototype final parts using stronger materials because the process is rather simple. After taking the computer created design and importing it into the rapid prototyping machine, the machine builds the design layer upon layer. I would love to get my hands on one so I could play with it!

CTS 287 - Introduction
Hey! My name is Jeffrey Glover and I am a current Information Technologies student at Edgecombe Community College. I only have a few more classes left before I get my degree, so I guess you could say I have a somewhat extensive background in IT. I have been enrolled in the IT program since January 2009 and will hopefully graduate at the end of this year. I have been known to my family as the go-to guy when someone has a computer problem. Its rare to see a problem that I don't know how to correct or know someone who does. I hope to learn a lot about current emerging technologies in the IT field. Technologies are always going for the biggest and newest ideas, so I am anxious to learn about them.
