AB In paper are presented basic characteristics and problems in area of Rapid Prototyping technology with use of layered production technology named Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). It is progressive method of 3D model product creation based on geometry obtained from CAD system with application in different industrial areas. Text of the paper is focused on optimization of Rapid Prototyping preparation process. There also is algorithm that leads to selection of suitable setting conditions. Utilization of algorithm is explained on case of printing with use of UPrint device and Catalyst software. There are outputs in form of graph and tables accumulating information directly affecting economical and quality aspects of Rapid Prototyping production technology.
