A new set of manufacturing technologies has emerged in the past decades to address market requirements in a customized way and to provide support for research tasks that require prototypes. These new techniques and technologies are usually referred to as rapid prototyping and manufacturing technologies, and they allow prototypes to be produced in a wide range of materials with remarkable precis...

This paper reports an advanced approach in the application of CNC machining for rapid manufacturing processes (CNC-RM). The aim of this study is to improve the quality of machined parts by introducing different cutting tools during finishing operations. As the cutting is performed in different directions, the surfaces presented on part can be classified into several categories. Therefore, suita...

Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer ph...

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...

Intelligent Manufacturing System (IMS) shall be considered as a system integrated with different intelligent subsystems, which completes the distributed solution procedure on the basis of exchanging large quantities of materials, energy and information. Any intelligent manufacturing process selfregulates and self-controls itself in manufacturing the products within the design specifications. It...

An increasingly influential “technological-discontinuity” paradigm suggests that IT-induced technological changes are rapidly raising productivity while making workers redundant. This paper explores the evidence for this view in the U.S. manufacturing sector. In contrast to this view and our expectations, we find little differential productivity growth in IT-intensive manufacturing industries. ...

Presented in this article is a review of manufacturing techniques and introduction of reconfigurable manufacturing systems; a new paradigm in manufacturing which is designed for rapid adjustment of production capacity and functionality, in response to new market conditions. A definition of reconfigurable manufacturing systems is outlined and an overview of available manufacturing techniques, th...

As a result of increasing global industrial competition, it has become essential for world economies to implement an effective industrial strategy that reliably and quickly addresses sudden changes in product design. An emerging strategy that might enable industries to cope with rapidly changing product specifications is based on reconfiguring the manufacturing systems. In this paper, the autho...

fused deposition modeling (fdm) is a filament based rapid prototyping system provides us to manufacture real parts with multiple production-grade materials, such as abs-m30, pc, ppsf and pc-abs blend. fused deposition modeling technology, essentially perform using layer manufacturing process. more complex 3d physical models can be efficiently fabricated without geometric limitation by this tech...

Because of increasing competition and cost pressure, the manufacturing industry is currently undergoing massive changes that are facilitated by the usage of Information Technologies. Two particular aspects are the usage of Business Process Management (BPM) and Cloud technologies concepts in the manufacturing domain. Rapid elasticity is crucial for the enactment of manufacturing processes in the...
