Continuous manufacturing is an important element of future solutions enabling for both high product quality and streamlined development process. The increasing possibilities with computer simulations allow innovating novel mixing principles applicable continuous manufacturing. However, these innovative ideas based on need experimental validation. use rapid prototyping additive opens a possibili...

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...

Functionally Graded Rapid Prototyping (FGRP) is a novel design approach and technological framework enabling the controlled spatial variation of material properties through continuous gradients in functional components. Such variations are traditionally achieved as discrete delineations in physical behavior by fabricating multiple parts comprised of different materials, and assembling them only...

The design of robotic mechanisms is a complex process involving geometric, kinematic, dynamic, tolerance and stress analyses. In the design of a real system, the construction of a physical prototype is often considered. Indeed, a physical prototype helps the designer to identify the fundamental characteristics and the potential pitfalls of the proposed architecture. However, the design and fabr...
