What is Rapid Prototyping (RP)? Why use RP RP Technologies Integrating RP Technology Questions

What is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping
Communications tool Additive or subtractive process Growing parts introduced in 1987 Parts of any geometric complexity Rapid tooling VOC
4

Rapid prototyping
Additive not intended to replace all methods of part fabrication Limited material choices - additive Parts will not be as durable May require extensive secondary finishing operations

Why use RP?

Rapid prototyping
A six month delay in production start can result in a 66% loss in gm* 80% of costs of NPD before detailed drawings released* VOC LEAN Touch, feel, hold vs. 3D model

Additive Rapid Prototyping Build-up process


3-D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling Stereolithography Selective Laser Sintering Jetted Photopolymer
10

Rapid prototyping

3-Dimensional Printing
Developed by MIT Powder-adhesive process Lowest cost technology Five times faster Limited materials

11

Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM

Similar to 3-D printing Fast for very small parts Suitable for office use Polymer filament ribbon Engineered materials: ABS, PC, PPS

12

Stereolithography - SLA

Most widely used process Largest part size High accuracy Good surface finish Liquid polymer laser cured Part size up to

29 x 25 x 21

13

Selective Laser Sintering - SLS

Large part size High accuracy Post-forming operations Engineered resins highest strength Autoclave capable Lower surface quality compared to SLA

14

Jetted Photopolymer System - PolyJet

TM

Similar to inkjet printing UV curable resin Lower cost than SLA Suitable for office use Thin build layer little post build finishing

15

Subtractive Rapid Prototyping - SRP


Material removal process 4-axis high-speed mill
Lower equipment cost Non-proprietary materials No post-finishing Bridge tooling
