I can see you taking +3 materials and just using rapid to quick complete the weapon/armor then have that much durability to 'Touch Up' an item. That's about it though.
A friend (who is a much better crafter than me) only uses rapid when she wants to the synth to hurry up and fail. She never uses it when she wants to succeed. So, I guess that's another possible use?

That's a great analogy.
