Rapid Prototyping Machine

Product Detail

Brief introduction of 1.RP technology

Rapid prototyping manufacturing technology, also known as rapid prototyping, (abbreviation RP);

English: RAPID PROTOTYPING (RP for short), or

RAPID PROTOTYPING MANUFACTUREING, abbreviated RPM.

Rapid prototyping (RP) is an advanced manufacturing technology developed in the 90 's, is manufacturing a key generic technologies of enterprise new product development services, for the promotion of enterprises ' product innovation, shorten new product development cycles, improve the competitiveness of products have a positive role in promoting. Since the advent of this technology, has been widely used in manufacturing industries in developed countries, resulting in an emerging field of technology.

RP technology in modern CAD/CAM technology, laser technology, computer numerical control technology, precise servo drive technology and based on the integrated development of the new materials technology. Different kinds of forming materials used in rapid prototyping system for forming principle and systems also vary. However, its basic principle is the same, and that is "layered manufacturing, layer-by-layer overlay", similar to the integral in mathematics. Figuratively speaking, rapid prototyping system was a "three dimensional printers".

RP technology's advantages are obvious: it can be without having to prepare any case of mold, tooling and fixtures, directly to product design (CAD) data, rapid prototypes of new products, mold or model. Therefore, application of RP technology can greatly shorten the product development cycle, reduce development costs, improve the quality of development. From the traditional "removal" to this day "growth Act", manufactured by die no die-making, this is the RP technology revolutionary on the manufacturing sector.
