Rapid-Prototyping of Rapid-Prototyping Machines

Fostering the spread of inexpensive, sustainable manufacturing processes and equipment empowers individuals and societies to create products which solve their particular challenges. We intend to advance that idea to its next logical step, offering not just the means of production, but also the mechanisms by which this empowerment can propagate and evolve. By creating rapid-prototyping machines ...

Rapid Prototyping of Rapid Prototyping Machines

Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid prototyping machines, but development times are slow because of the complexity of the necessary control system and the need to design the mechanical elements from scratch. T...

Analyses and Solutions on Technical and Economical Aspects of Rapid Prototyping Technology

2 Problems of Rapid Prototyping process Rapid Prototyping is the automatic construction of physical objects using technology. The first techniques for Rapid Prototyping became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce 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 nu...

Rapid Prototyping of a

as simple implementation and is suited for use in broadcast networks due to the exploitation of the capture phenomenon. During the design process we utilized a novel methodology involving multirate dynamic data ow system level simulation, exploitation of a generic VHDL based implementation library, automatic VHDL generation based on the data ow description and logic synthesis. The advantages an...
