Answer to Question 1

Extremely beneficial when rapid response time is essential. Rapid prototyping allow designers to generate parts quickly, directly from 3D models, for mockup and testing.

Answer to Question 2

As with any communication method, standards provide a common method of communication between members of the team and other engineering teams that may be involved in the design process. The American National Standard Drafting Manual  Y14 provides the generally accepted standards in the United States.
