Modelling of Manufacturing Systems by Rapid Prototyping Technology Application

Technologies of Rapid Prototyping (RP) represents the rapid production of 3D physical parts using by additive manufacturing technology. The start these techniques became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce 3D models and prototype parts. Today they are used for a much wider range of applications and are even used to manufacture production-quality parts in relatively small number...

Generative Manufacturing of Ceramic Parts “Vision Rapid Prototyping”

Introduction When Generative Manufacturing Processes had been introduced to the market in the early 1990s they were called Rapid Prototyping Processes. In the following 15 years they became an important tool especially for the product development of injection molded plastic parts. Based on improved materials and machines, today even final plastic parts can be manufactured (Rapid Manufacturing)....
