As product varieties increase and life cycles shorten, the need for rapid product development becomes critical to maintain competitiveness in the market. Reverse engineering technology enables us to quickly create the CAD model of product. Rapid prototyping is another technology that can shorten the product development time by fabricating the physical prototype of a part using layered manufacturing technique. And how to integrate these two technologies to facilitate rapid product development is an important issue. Haptic modeling has the advantages of allowing the user to touch, feel, manipulate, and model point cloud in a 3D environment that is similar to a natural setting. A high-quality STL file can be obtained from the haptic modeling system which is ideal for rapid prototyping. In this paper, a novel method of integrating RE/RP for rapid product development based on haptic modeling is presented, which can increase the efficiency for RE/RP integration and promote product innovative design. Case study is also given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

A tecnologia de prototipagem de produtos por adição de material (Rapid Prototyping) e por remoção de material (Subtractive Rapid Prototyping) pode variar em: qualidade, tempo e custos, dependendo das características do produto. A escolha da tecnologia muitas vezes está condicionada à decisão empírica do designer/engenheiro ou operador, devido ao tipo de material, dimensão e precisão. Este artigo apresenta um método para tomada de decisão que auxilia a escolha da tecnologia de prototipagem rápida mais adequada na concepção de novos produtos. Foram utilizados os conceitos de DFM (Design for Manufacturing), CAD (Computer Aided Design), RPD (Rapid Product Development) e MAUT (Multiattribute Utility) em dois produtos de diferente estrutura e material (composto leve e simples maciço) para avaliar e validar o método proposto. Os resultados apresentam comparações entre as tecnologias de prototipagem rápida a partir de critérios para tomada de decisão, aperfeiçoando a concepção de protótipos mais eficientes.

Abstract Rapid prototyping has made a substantial contribution to reducing product development time. Here we discuss rapid tooling, that is, rapid prototyping of production tools, especially injection molds. The rapidly prototyped tools are then used to produce final parts. As the market demands ever more rapid production of parts, at Georgia Tech we are developing a distributed design environment in which the various stakeholders in the product development process can contribute information and expertise. We present the overall vision for the design for manufacture portion of the Rapid Tooling TestBed. The design framework for Rapid Tooling TestBed is based on an attention-directing tool, the Decision Support Problem Technique, in which we postulate that design progress is measured by the types and nature of decisions about the product which are being made. Here we study two of these decisions which must be made simultaneously, the selection of the most feasible process and material combination for the development of an injection mold. This coupled decision is formulated with the attention directing tool, coupled selection-selection Decision Support Problems. Specifically, a we solve a decision problem to determine the most feasible process and material combination for the production of a simple rib to be produced using a rapidly prototyped injection mold. The resulting mold must be able to withstand the forces, stresses and strains imposed on it in the injection molding process. The emphasis of this paper in on the methods rather than on the results, per se.

This paper describes the design and manufacture of a Miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MUAV) using the StratasysTM 3D Rapid Prototyping (RP) machine. The main motivation for this work is to demonstrate the rapid product development capabilities of the machine. The polymeric material used in this process is Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS). Its superior properties allow the MUAV structure to be built accurately to design specifications. The advantage of this approach is the shorter time required for design, fabrication and deployment.
