Virtual Prototyping for Rapid Product Development
Intensifying globalization and market competition has been driving the manufacturing industry to compete on continual reduction in lead-time and cost of product development while assuring high quality and wide varieties. Conventional manufacturing processes are, however, no longer sufficient to speed up product development to meet ever-increasing diversities of customer demands, stringent cost ...
متن کاملA versatile virtual prototyping system for rapid product development
This paper presents a versatile virtual prototyping (VP) system for digital fabrication of multi-material prototypes to facilitate rapid product development. The VP system comprises a suite of software packages for multi-material layered manufacturing (MMLM) processes, including multi-toolpath planning, build-time estimation and accuracy analysis, integrated with semi-immersive desktop-based an...
متن کاملRapid Prototyping as an Integrated Product/process Development Tool an Overview of Issues and Economics
An overview of issues concerning current methods of rapid prototyping (RP) processes is presented. This paper establishes a basis for categorizing the models developed by both commercial RP systems and conventional means, in particular, CNC machining. Model accuracy in both representation and testing capability is described based on a set of three defining levels, Form, Fit, and Function. This ...
متن کاملCNC-RP: A Technique for Using CNC Machining as a Rapid Prototyping Tool in Product/Process Development
A technique for using CNC machining as a Rapid Prototyping (RP) tool is presented. A 3-Axis machine and a programmable or indexable 4 axis is used to create complex shapes that would otherwise require 5-axis machining. The method involves a novel approach of slicing the part geometry and then fixturing through the use of a temporary feature added to the solid model. Multiple 3-axis NC programs ...
متن کاملIntegrating Rapid Prototyping into Product and Process Development
Rapid prototyping concepts and skills are being taught to undergraduate manufacturing engineering students at Texas State University-San Marcos, not as an independent course, but as a part of the broad concept of product and process development. In such approach, students get a hands-on experience in a variety of rapid prototyping processes such as FDM, LOM, Zcorp 3DP, and 3D system’s InVision ...
