Advantages of Rapid Prototyping Technology

The rapid prototyping technology is not limited by part geometry and it can produce complex geometry parts which conventional processing techniques cannot achieve.rapid prototyping mold can help designers to quickly design and find out the deficiencies or omissions in the original design of the program, and revised to make it perfect, saving a lot of time, in addition, it also shortens the distance between production sales and the users.

 

Four Methods of Rapid Prototyping

Fused deposition modeling divides CAD model into layers of thin cross-section to generate two-dimensional geometric information to control fused deposition molding nozzle movement trajectory. The nozzle extrudes semi-flowable material along two-dimensional geometry information identified by the CAD, and deposit into the thin layer of precision parts. This layer deposited on the bonding, the bottom-up to form a part of the three-dimensional entity. Laminated object manufacturing bonds the single-sided coated with a hot melt foil (coated paper - coated with the cladding layer of the adhesive paper, coated ceramic foil, a metal foil, etc.) together through the heat roller so that the laser beam of the sheet material plane along a plane model to determine the trajectory scanning. The plane model layers stack in the overall physical model, and removal of waste and roll under bonding gradually formed molding. Stereo lithography apparatus uses a laser beam to scan within the liquid photosensitive resin along the determined plane trajectory, from the point to the line to the surface, so that the thin layer of resin produce the polymerization, thereby forming a thin section of the parts. New curing layer is firmly bonded to the first layer until the entire part rapid prototype model and manufacturing are finished. Selective laser sintering takes the CO2 laser as an energy source by an infrared laser beam, so that the plastics, paraffin wax, ceramics, and metal (or complexes) of the powder material is uniformly sintered in the working plane. under the control of the computer, the laser beam scans through the scanner to a certain speed and energy density by two-dimensional data of the sub-level scanning. Laser beam scanning at the powder sintered into a certain thickness of the entity hierarchy, the unscanned place remains loose powder. Remove excess powder and we can obtain the parts after grinding and drying.

 

Development Trend of Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping technology will play a very important role in development speed and quality of new product. The manufacturing of rapid prototyping creates a new design and manufacturing concept. It has a relatively low cost, high-speed shape, and provides an effective method for the product to market as soon as possible to improve product design quality, reduce costs, and shorten design and manufacturing cycle, especially for parts having a complicated shape. Rapid prototyping technology has injected new vitality and creativity to the 21st century mold manufacturing sector.
