What is Rapid Prototyping ?

• Rapid Prototyping is the name given to a process
  that produces 3d objects direct from a CAD model.

4
Why Use Rapid Prototyping ?

• Rapid Prototyping reduces the time it takes to
  produce a model of an object
• This allows designers and manufactures to respond
  quickly to market demands.
• Rapid prototyping reduces development costs.

5
Who Uses Rapid Prototyping ?

• Rapid prototyping is used to develop designs for
  a wide range of users including
• Automotive
• Sport
• Medical

6
How does Rapid Prototyping work ?

• There are different types of machine, these
  include
• Stereo Lithography, where a laser is used to
  solidify a liquid plastic.
• Laminated Object Manufacturing, where layers of
  paper or thin plastic are cut and glued together
• Fused Deposition Modelling, where a type of glue
  gun controlled by a computer builds an object in
  layers.
• Three Dimensional Printing, where an inkjet
  cartridge is used to glue together layers of
  power.

Whats Next

• Over the next few weeks you will be designing a
  product using ProDESKTOP.
• This product will be manufactured at CEME using a
  Z Corp 3d printer.
• Now use the internet to search for rapid
  prototyping and collect pictures of products.
