Rapid Prototyping and manufacturing Introduction The term 搑apid prototyping?(RP) is a relatively new expression for the generation of three-dimensional models manufactured without the need for machining or products designed on a computer aided design system, the first rapid prototyping system was introduced on to the US market in 1988 and gave the engineer the opportunity to produce 3 dimensional objects directly from Computer Aided Design (CAD) date and succeed in the cost-effective production of patterns and moulds with complex surfaces. The development of this technology has reached into many of the traditional fields, attracting the interest of artisans whose skill any knowledge has led to 3-D objects being used directly and indirectly as patterns and model for soft tooling. Rapid prototyping differs with conventional manufacturing methods by adding material layer by layer until the desired sharp is achieved, immediately reducing or avoiding the loss of material. What RPM CAN DO? To substantially shorten the time for developing patterns, moulds, and prototypes, some manufacturing enterprises have started to use rapid prototyping methods for complex patterns making and component prototyping. Over the past few years, a variety of new rapid manufacturing technologies, generally called Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing(RPM),have emerged ;the technologies developed include Stereo lithography (SL), selected laser sintering(SLS),fused deposition modeling(FDM),laminated object manufacturing(LOM),and three dimensional printing (3D Print).They have a common important feature ;the prototype part is produced by adding materials rather than removing mate rials. This simplifies the 3D part producing processes to 2D layer adding processes so that a part can be produced directly from its computer model. THE BASIC PROCESS IN RP RP machines process CAD data by slicing the computer model into layers ,each layer being typically 0.1-0.25mm thick the machine then uses this
