This paper deals with rapid prototyping method of fast production of real parts, which are used for development of some mechatronics systems. The rapid prototyping is the process of creating physical objects from computer models generated using CAD program that a prototype machine can build a 3D prototype out of metal, plastic or resin. The rapid prototyping is used to quick and easy produce prototype parts. This fact is very interesting and useful for development of several mechatronics systems. The complicated geometry of models and prototype parts can be tested or the behavior of whole system is verified during development cycle of mechatronics system. This methodology was used during development cycle of the vibration power generator. The generator is complex mechatronics system, which harvests electrical energy from mechanical vibration for feeding of wireless sensor. This device was designed with application of rapid prototyping for production of several generator parts.
