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

Rapid prototyping
3-Dimensional Printing
Developed by MIT Powder-adhesive process Lowest cost technology Five times faster Limited materials
11
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
Large part size High accuracy Post-forming operations Engineered resins highest strength Autoclave capable Lower surface quality compared to SLA
14
TM
Similar to inkjet printing UV curable resin Lower cost than SLA Suitable for office use Thin build layer little post build finishing
