recently, as the result of the development in modern imaging, computerized three dimensional data processing and advanced engineering techniques, an prosthesis that match the skeletal anatomy can be accurately designed from computer aided design (cad) technique and the physical model of prosthesis or skull replica can be produced through rapid prototyping (rp), rapid tooling (rt), and computer ...

optimization of process parameter is one of the ideal goals in laser sintering. the results of this process were measured as output parameters like: density, micro hardening, macro hardening, tension, roughness, stiffness, balling. in this paper, the influence of input parameter such as laser power, scan speed, material powder and etc are surveyed on output parameter like balling affection and ...

today radiology and imaging are the only and main method to generate geometrical data from body. 3d model of the body will give us the best and reliable information for better understanding and diagnostic. on the other hand with development of cad/cam and rapid prototyping, the 3d printers were born to build 3d models without considering the geometry. today the 3d printers are able to makes a 3...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa stereolithography process limits wider applications due to low dimensional accuracy comparing with cnc. to improve accuracy and reduce part distortion, understanding the physics involved in the relationship between the setup input parameters and the part dimensional accuracy is prerequisite. in this paper, a model is proposed to find and optimize im...

Rapid prototyping has become an innovative method of fast and cost-effective production of three-dimensional models for manufacturing. Wide access to advanced medical imaging methods allows application of this technique for medical training purposes. This paper presents the feasibility of rapid prototyping technologies: stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition modelling, a...

INTRODUCTION Orthopaedic surgeries are usually complex and time consuming. Therefore, minimizing the duration of the surgery, reducing the risk of complications during and post surgery are the main criteria involved while planning for surgery. This can be achieved using physical rapid prototyping (RP) modeling technique. RP involves fabrication of prototype model precisely produced from three d...

Rapid Prototyping (RP) presents the automatic production of physical parts using by additive manufacturing technology. The start 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 productionquality parts in relatively small numbers. Ra...
