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...

Virtual Rapid Robot Prototyping

Competition in marketplace requires manufacturers to develop their products in shorter turn-around times. This encourages engineers and researchers to devise methodologies to respond to this market-driven requirement. Rapid prototyping is one solution to produce a design in minimum amount of time. In this paper we focus on rapid prototyping of robots. For this purpose, development of the robot ...

Hyperheuristics: A Tool for Rapid Prototyping in Scheduling and Optimisation

The term hyperheuristic was introduced by the authors as a high-level heuristic that adaptively controls several low-level knowledgepoor heuristics so that while using only cheap, easy-to-implement lowlevel heuristics, we may achieve solution quality approaching that of an expensive knowledge-rich approach. For certain classes of problems, this allows us to rapidly produce effective solutions, ...
