Rapid Prototyping Examples

Rapid prototyping (RP) technology is an advanced manufacturing technology developed in the 1990s. It is a key common technology for the development of new products for manufacturing companies. Improving product competitiveness has a positive role in promoting. Since the technology came out, it has been widely used in the manufacturing industry in developed countries, and a new technical field has emerged.

Features of rapid prototyping technology:

1. There is no limit to the materials used to manufacture prototypes, and all kinds of metal and non-metal materials can be used;

2. The replicability and interchangeability of the prototype are high;

3. The manufacturing process has nothing to do with the geometric shape of the manufacturing prototype, and it is even more superior when processing complex curved surfaces;

4. The processing cycle is short, the cost is low, and the cost has nothing to do with the complexity of the product. The general manufacturing cost is reduced by 50%, and the processing cycle is saved by more than 70%;

5. High technology integration can realize the integration of design and manufacture.
