From CAD and RP to innovative manufacturing
online resource
posted on 2006-05-02, 12:00 authored by N.O. Balc, Ian CampbellFrom CAD and Virtual Prototyping, there are already available many Rapid Prototyping (RP) techniques to
produce physical, hand hold able parts. A brief overview is presented of some important aspects regarding how to get a
good 3D solid model, how to transfer it to RP machines and how to produce quickly a physical prototype. The RP
models could be used for different downstream applications. The paper gives some alternative tooling routes, depending
on some criteria, such as: volume production, material and complexity of the parts. The RP models could be used as
master models for vacuum casting, metal spraying, investment casting and other innovative manufacturing techniques.
