Design, Planning, Machining, a nd Manufacturing Using Rapid Prototyping Technologies i n Modern Engineering
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The term rapid prototyping (RP) refers to a class of technologies that are used to produce physical objects layer - by - layer directly from computer aided design (CAD) data. These techniques allow designers to produce tangible protons of their designs quickly , rather than just two - dimensional pictures. Besides visual aids for communicating ideas with co - workers or customers, these prototypes can be used to most various aspects of their design, such as wind tunnel tests and dimensional checks. In addition to th e production of prototypes, rapid prototyping techniques can also produce molds or mold inserts (rapid tooling) and even fully functional end parts (rapid manufacturing). In rapid prototyping, the term “rapid” is relative; it aims at the automated step fr om CAD data to machine, rather than at the speed of the techniques. Depending on the dimensions of the object, production times can be as long as a few days, especially with complex parts or when long cooling times are required. This may seem slow, but it is still much faster than the time required by traditional production techniques, such as machining. This relatively face production allows analyzing parts in a very early stage of designing, which decreases the resulting design cost. The costs can also be reduced because rapid prototyping processes are may automated and therefore, this need the skill of individual craftsmen for no more than finishing the part
