A group of techniques that are used to fabricate a model of a part or the entire assembly is known as "Rapid Prototyping". Three-dimensional computer aided design data is used for this purpose. There are various rapid prototyping technologies that are commercially available- SLA, SLS, LOM, FDM, SGC, and Ink Jet printing techniques. The most widely used technique is SLA technique, which was developed by 3D Systems. 3D printers were first used in rapid prototyping, which aided in visual presentation models. The prototypes are being manufactured in order to get an approval from the engineers before the ultimate production process. Presently, many engineering and design organizations use 3D printers for rapid prototyping.

Homeshopping remains a niche segment in Peru, representing only 3% of total value sales within non-grocery specialists in 2014. There is little tradition of the use of this channel as Peruvian consumers are used to touch, compare products within a store and try them out before purchasing. Moreover, there is a widespread perception that homeshopping?s products are not as reliable or effective as advertised. Furthermore, the prices of these products are significantly higher than similar products within store-based retailing, which also contributes to limiting demand. As a result, homeshopping achieved only 5% growth in current value terms in 2014, a performance in line with that observed the previous year.
