In today’s era of the Internet age, rapid prototyping technology has been combined with other technologies to form a complete and huge technical body. The system is characterized by systematization, diversified needs, diversified and…
Material Addition Manufacturing Method The material addition manufacturing method, also known as Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing (RPM), is a high-tech achievement. It includes molding methods such as SLS, SLA, SLM, and integrates modern scientific and technological achievements such as CAD technology, numerical control technology, laser technology and material technology, and is an important component of improving…
Integrated Reverse Engineering System The integrated reverse engineering system framework can be divided into three parts (or three sub-systems): digital and data processing systems, model reconstruction subsystems, and product manufacturing subsystems. First, the task of digitization and data processing is to measure planning, measurement, and data processing transformations. When making measurement plans, the main consideration…
Relevance Of Reverse Engineering And Rapid Prototyping The relationship between reverse engineering and rapid prototyping Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping technology are important components of modern manufacturing technology. When two unit technologies are integrated into one product for rapid development, an optimal integration technology model is obtained. (1) The integration of reverse engineering and rapid…
Various Rapid Prototyping Techniques According to modern molding theory, the way objects are shaped can be divided into the following categories: (1) Removal molding: A method in which a part of materials is separated from the substrate in an orderly manner by a separation method. Traditional car, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, electric sparking and laser…
Fused Deposition Molding (FDM) Process The fused deposition manufacturing (FDM) process was successfully developed by American scholar Scott Crump in 1988. The materials of FDM are generally thermoplastic materials such as wax, ABS, nylon, and the like. Feed in the form of a filament. The material is heated and melted in the spray head. The…
Reverse Engineering And Rapid Prototyping Reverse engineering is a description of the product design process. Compared with the current forward engineering, the forward engineering is that we design the drawings first, then process the finished products according to the drawings, and the reverse engineering is the existing ones. The object is restored to a computer…
Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Melt Deposition Molding (FDM) Process Advantage (1) Due to the simple construction principle and operation of the hot melt extrusion head system, the maintenance cost is low and the system is safe to operate. (2) The molding speed is fast. The product produced by the fused deposition method does not…
Selective Laser Powder Sintering (SLS) Process The SLS process is called selective laser sintering and was developed in 1989 by C.R. Dechard of the University of Texas at Austin. The SLS process is formed from a powdered material. The principle is to spread the material powder on the upper surface of the formed part and…
SLS Process Characteristics The SLS process is characterized by a wide range of materials, not only for the manufacture of plastic parts, but also for the manufacture of ceramic, wax and other materials, in particular for the production of metal parts. This makes the SLS process attractive. The SLS process does not require support because…
