How does metal prototyping relate to rapid prototyping? I thought the two were completely different. Does anyone find it useful to combine metal prototypes with plastic or stereolithography prototyping?

The metal prototyping and rapid prototyping (stereolithography) are completely different.  I think Metro has a very good idea going here.  I have came across in the past where I needed a prototype of an insert molded part but had troubles finding someone that was price feasible and local that could make the metal insert.  Since Metro Rapid Prototyping has both capabilities, they can work hand in hand with each other to make a functional insert molded, or over molded, prototype with any metal, not limited to, insert.  Threaded inserts can even be placed in the stereolithography prototype models but not sure how.  It's amazing how technology is improving so fast...
