Rapid Prototyping Systems The term rapid prototyping (RP) refers to a class of technologies that can automatically construct physical models from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) data. These "three dimensional printers" allow designers to quickly create tangible prototypes of their designs, rather than just two-dimensional pictures. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0402616. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Rapid Prototyping Systems Of course, "rapid" is a relative term. Most prototypes require from three to seventy-two hours to build, depending on the size and complexity of the object. This may seem slow, but it is much faster than the weeks or months required to make a prototype by traditional means such as machining. These dramatic time savings allow manufacturers to bring products to market faster and more cheaply. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Such models have numerous uses: Excellent visual aids for communicating Prototypes can be used for design testing. Used to make tooling Used to make production-quality parts http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems All RP techniques employ the same basic five-step process. Create a CAD model of the design Convert the CAD model to STL format (stereolithography) Slice the STL file into thin cross-sectional layers Construct the model one layer atop another Clean and finish the model http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems CAD Model Creation: First, the object to be built is modeled using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software package. Solid modelers, such as Pro/ENGINEER, tend to represent 3-D objects more accurately than wire-frame modelers such as AutoCAD, and will therefore yield better results. This process is identical for all of the RP build techniques. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Conversion to STL Format: To establish consistency, the STL (stereolithography, the first RP technique) format has been adopted as the standard of the rapid prototyping industry. The second step, therefore, is to convert the CAD file into STL format. This format represents a three-dimensional surface as an assembly of planar triangles STL files use planar elements, they cannot represent curved surfaces exactly. Increasing the number of triangles improves the approximation http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Slice the STL File: In the third step, a pre-processing program prepares the STL file to be built. The pre-processing software slices the STL model into a number of layers from 0.01 mm to 0.7 mm thick, depending on the build technique. The program may also generate an auxiliary structure to support the model during the build. Supports are useful for delicate features such as overhangs, internal cavities, and thin-walled sections. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Layer by Layer Construction: The fourth step is the actual construction of the part. RP machines build one layer at a time from polymers, paper, or powdered metal. Most machines are fairly autonomous, needing little human intervention. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Clean and Finish: The final step is post-processing. This involves removing the prototype from the machine and detaching any supports. Some photosensitive materials need to be fully cured before use Prototypes may also require minor cleaning and surface treatment. Sanding, sealing, and/or painting the model will improve its appearance and durability. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Rapid Prototyping Systems Stereolithography Patented in 1986, stereolithography started the rapid prototyping revolution. The technique builds three-dimensional models from liquid photosensitive polymers that solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light. http://www.me.psu.edu/lamancusa/rapidpro/primer/chapter2.htm

Laser Cutting Laser cutting is just one of a number of processes used to cut metal into desired shapes. Other typical cutting processes include plasma cutting, flame or oxyfuel cutting, water jet cutting, and even metal stamping which competes on certain levels http://www.teskolaser.com/tips.html

Benefits of Laser Cutting There are many benefits to laser-cutting service providers that directly translate to the process end-users. Some are: Improved parts production and reduced part distortion as a result of the small heat affected zones (HAZ) Greatly reduced tool wear due to the non-contact cutting process. Increased saving due to more efficient utilization of materials Reduced inventory due to typical efficiency of production runs. Improved part appearance since a laser's minimal Heat Affected Zone eliminates distortion. http://www.teskolaser.com/laser_cutting1.html

Examples of Laser Cutting Pictures from: http://www.tysica.co.za/laserpics.html

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a solid-based rapid prototyping method that extrudes material, layer-by-layer, to build a model. A thread of plastic is fed into an extrusion head, where it is heated into a semi-liquid state and extruded through a very small hole onto the previous layer of material. Support material is also laid down in a similar manner. http://www.padtinc.com/rm/fdm/default.htm

Laminated Object Manufacture As the name implies the process laminates thin sheets of film (paper or plastic) The laser has only to cut/scan the periphery of each layer http://www.foundryonline.com/laminate.htm

Laminated Object Manufacture The process: The build material (paper with a thermo-setting resin glue on its under side) is stretched from a supply roller across an anvil or platform to a take- up roller on the other side. A heated roller passes over the paper bonding it to the platform or previous layer. A laser, focused to penetrate through one thickness of paper cuts the profile of that layer. The excess paper around and inside the model is etched into small squares to facilitate its removal. http://www.foundryonline.com/laminate.htm

Laminated Object Manufacture The process continued: The process of gluing and cutting continuous layer by layer until the model is complete. To reduce the build time, double or even triple layers are cut at one time which increases the size of the steps on curved surfaces and the post processing necessary to smooth those surfaces. http://www.foundryonline.com/laminate.htm

Laminated Object Manufacture Applications of LOM objects: LOM objects are durable, multilayered structures which can be machined, sanded, polished, coated and painted. Used as precise patterns for secondary tooling processes such as rubber moulding, sand casting and direct investment casting. Used for limited testing. Used as visual models. http://www.foundryonline.com/laminate.htm

Examples of Laminated Object Manufacture Wind Turbine In this case the LOM process was initially used to check the CAD geometry: subsequently the model was used as a sand casting pattern.
