Welcome to the homepage for the Rapid Design Through Virtual and Physical Prototyping Project; a collaboration between Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford Universities. Along with government and industrial partners, we have joined in a consortium for rapid design and generation of parts and assemblies through the transformation of virtual prototypes into physical prototypes.
