    Rapid prototyping (RP) is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part using 3D CAD data. It involves layer-by-layer deposition of material to build the part without using molds or tools. The first technique, stereolithography, was developed in the 1980s but newer methods now exist. RP reduces design time and costs by allowing engineers to test designs before production. While it provides design flexibility, RP parts often lack the strength and accuracy of production components.

    WHAT IS RAPID PROTOTYPING ?
     A prototype is a scale model of an actual product.
     It is often used as part of the product design process
    to allow engineers and designers the ability to
    explore design alternatives, test theories and confirm
    performance prior to starting production of a new
    product.
     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.

    COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING


     The first rapid prototyping method, called stereo
    lithography, was developed in the late 1980s, but
    more sophisticated techniques are available today.
     It is an additive manufacturing process in which the
    part is fabricated by deposition of layers contoured in
    a (x-y) plane two dimensionally.

    RP TECHNIQUES
    1. Stereolithography (SLA)
    2. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
    3. Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM)
    4. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
    5. Three Dimensional Printing (3DP)
    6. Solid ground curing (SGC)

    COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING


    GENERALIZED STEPS FOR RP
    1. Create a CAD model of the design.
    2. Convert the CAD model to .STL (Standard Tessellation
    Language) format.
    3. Slice the STL file into thin cross-sectional layers (0.05
    - 0.1 mm).
    4. Construct the model one layer atop another.
    5. Clean and finish the model.

    COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING


    ADVANTAGES OF RP
     Reduced design & development time
     Reduced overall product development cost
     Separate material can be used for component and
    support
     No need to design jigs and fixtures
     No need of mould or other tools
     Post processing include only finishing and cleaning
     Harder materials can be easily used
     Minimum material wastage
     Improved and increased user involvement

    COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING


    DISADVANTAGES OF RP
     Lack of accuracy
     Added initial costs
     Some rapid prototyping processes are still expensive
    and not economical
     Material properties like surface finish and strength
    cannot be matched
     Many times component get distorted
     The range of materials that can be used is limited

    COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING


    APPLICATIONS OF RP
     Patterns for sand casting, investment casting and
    injection moulding
     On-demand manufacturing
     Manufacturing of very complex shapes
     Manufacturing of parts in aerospace, marine and
    automotive industries
     3D visualization for education and training
     Sculpture in architecture field
     Customized surgical implants in medical field
     Fashion and Jewellery
