In industry, "Rapid Prototyping" also refers to the process of using computers to control sophisticated machinery which creates plastic prototypes directly from CAD (Computer Assisted Design) files. This process eliminates the traditional process of having a machinist create prototypes. It's cheaper, more efficient, and reduces human error introduced by the machinist. (By the way, it also puts machinists out of work).
