Rapid prototyping (RP) is becoming more important due to the rapid developments in various engineering fields such as manufacturing, designing, architecture engineering, face recognitions and simulation engineering. The usages of the conventional RP machines such as one-camera-one-light-source (laser sheet) system and one-camera-one-laser-range-sensor system have been restricted to certain applications such as strict lighting conditions can be constructed and long time measurements can be made. The developed RP system consisting of two cameras can rapidly produce the three-dimensional shape data for various practical prototypes. The developed system has been applied to produce three-dimensional data of a motorcycle model, which can be used as three-dimensional input data for Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD).
