New Materials for Rapid Prototyping Applications

Rapid prototyping (RP) has become a widely used tool for the fabrication and evaluation of physical prototypes during the product development cycle. RP is used since it can produce prototypes with arbitrary shapes quickly and at a lower cost than traditional prototyping techniques. Recently RP has also been investigated regarding its ability to replace traditional mass manufacturing processes i...

rapid prototyping technologies and their applications in prosthodontics, a review of literature

the early computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (cad/cam) systems were relied exclusively on subtractive methods. in recent years, additive methods by employing rapid prototyping (rp) have progressed rapidly in various fields of dentistry as they have the potential to overcome known drawbacks of subtractive techniques such as fit problems. rp techniques have been exploited to build...

Rapid Prototyping Technologies and Applications in Modern Engineering -A Review

Rapid prototyping is a group of methods used to rapidly manufacture a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing technology. Rapid prototyping techniques are often referred to solid free, computer automate...
