This book introduces the role of Rapid Prototyping Techniques
within the product development phase. It deals with the concept,
origin, and working cycle of Rapid Prototyping Processes with
emphasis on the applications. Apart from elaboration of engineering
and non-engineering applications, it highlights recent applications
like Bio-Medical Models for Surgical Planning, Molecular Models,
Architectural Models, Sculptured Models, Psycho-Analysis Models.
Special emphasis has been provided to the technique of generating
human organs from live cells/tissues of the same human named 3D BIO
PRINTERS. As the Rapid Prototyping Techniques are for tailor made
products and not for mass manufacturing hence the book also
elaborates on the mass manufacturing of rapid prototyped products.
This includes casting and rapid tooling. The book concludes with
Reverse Engineering and the role played by Rapid Prototyping
Techniques towards the same. With globalization of market and
advances in science and technology, the life span of products has
shortened considerably. For early realization of products and short
development period, engineers and researchers are constantly
working together for more and more efficient and effective
solutions. The most effective solution identified has been usage of
computers in both designing and manufacturing. This gave birth to
the nomenclatures CAD (Computer Aided Designing) and CAM (Computer
aided Manufacturing). This was the initiation that ensured short
product development and realization period. Researchers coined the
concept as Rapid Prototyping. In contrast to Prototyping, Rapid
prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a
scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional
computer aided design (CAD) data. Construction of the part or
assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive or
subtractive layer manufacturing" technology. The first methods for
rapid prototyping became available in the late 1980s and were used
to produce models and prototype parts. Today, they are used for a
wide range of applications and are used to manufacture
production-quality parts in relatively small numbers if desired
without the typical unfavorable short-run economics. This economy
has encouraged online service bureaus for early product realization
or physical products for actual testing. This book is expected to
contain Seven Chapters. Chapter 1 would explain product life cycle
and the product development phase in the same, introducing role of
Rapid Prototyping Techniques in Product development phase. Chapter
2 would deals with the concept, origin and working cycle of Rapid
Prototyping Processes. Chapter 3 would concentrates on the
applications of Rapid Prototyping Technology. Apart from
elaboration of engineering and non-engineering applications, it
also elaborates on recent applications like Bio-Medical Models for
Surgical Planning, Molecular Models, Architectural Models,
Sculptured Models, Psycho-Analysis Models etc. Chapter 4 would
introduce the various Rapid Prototyping systems available
worldwide. The chapter also introduces the technique of generating
human organs from live cells/tissues of the same human named 3D BIO
PRINTERS hence ensuring low rejection rate by human body. As the
Rapid Prototyping Techniques are for tailor made products and not
for mass manufacturing hence Chapter 5 would elaborates on the mass
manufacturing of rapid prototyped products. This includes Casting
and Rapid Tooling. Chapter 6 would deal with Reverse Engineering
and the role played by Rapid Prototyping Techniques towards the
same. As the product realization is primarily dependent on various
softwares which are required to be understood for better accuracy
so the concluding chapter of the book i.e. Chapter 7 would explain
some software associated with the various techniques.
