The rapid tooling testbed: a distributed design-for- manufacturing system
A new design-for-manufacturing method, called the geometric tailoring (GT), and the associated digital interface concept have been developed that enable the design activities to be separated from the manufacturing activities. Conditions for the successful application of this method are investigated. The GT method is demonstrated for rapid prototyping and rapid tooling technologies, where protot...
متن کاملComposites by Rapid Prototyping Technology
The use of rapid prototyping (RP) technology for rapid tooling and rapid manufacturing has given rise to the development of application-oriented composites. The present paper furnishes succinct notes of the composites formed using main rapid prototyping processes such as Selective Laser Sintering/Melting, Laser Engineered Net Shaping, Laminated Object Manufacturing, Stereolithography, Fused Dep...
متن کاملAn integrated manufacturing system for rapid tooling based on rapid prototyping
To reduce the time and cost of moulds fabrication, a novel integrated developing and manufacturing system of rapid tooling (RT) based on rapid prototyping (RP) is proposed. The architecture of system which consists of four building blocks: digital prototype, virtual prototype (VP), physical prototype and RT system, is presented. A digital prototype can be established by 3D CAD software packages...
متن کاملComputer-Assisted Gripper and Fixture Customization via Rapid Prototyping
In support of rapid-response manufacturing, we propose a new technique for automated design and fabrication of fixture and gripper tooling for mechanical assembly. Our technique utilizes geometric computations on CAD part descriptions to derive form and force closure tooling. In addition, we invoke rapid prototyping technology to fabricate the computed tooling directly from the derived CAD desc...
