In the last decades several computer-based procedures have been devised with the aim of speeding up the 3D reconstruction from a single image in the form of bas-relief. At the same time, the use of rapid prototyping (RP) technology considerably spread enabling quick manufacture of 3D products directly from 3D modelling systems. The present paper presents a few consideration about different possible strategies for bas-reliefs manufacturing by using the main RP techniques (stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM) and Polyjet/Multi-jet technology). A practical example is used for discussing pros and cons of the different alternatives.

The principle and application of rapid prototyping technology were presented. Several typical rapid prototyping technology were introduced, such as the Stereo Lithography Appearance, Laminated object manufacturing, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, three dimensional spray adhesive technology. The rapid prototyping technology was used in manufacturing, clinical surgical, defense technology, ceramics, dental, and so on. The choke point of rapid prototyping technology application was analyzed, such as molding materials, precision error, and the performance of data sharing software. The future development trend of rapid prototyping technology is prospected also.

A class of technologies referring to Rapid Prototyping (RP) or Additive or Layer Manufacturing or 3D Printing allows designers to quickly create tangible prototype instead of using two dimensional pictures. This technology produces models and prototype parts from 3D CAD model data created from 3D object digitizing systems. Rapid Prototyping forms parts by joining together liquid, powder or sheet materials. Physical models are built using three basic stages: pre-processing, building, post-processing. Pre-processing consists of generation of CAD model, convert into STL format and slice the STL files into cross sectional layers. In building process, construction of model takes place one layer atop another. Post process consists of cleaning and finishing the final model. Common types of Rapid Prototyping technologies popular in industry are: Steriolithography, Fused Deposition Modeling, Selective Laser Sintering, Laminated Object Manufacturing,3 D Printing. The selection of the processes depends upon the material to be cured to build the final model. Rapid Prototyping technologies are used in various industries like Automobiles, Consumer products, Medical, Academics, Aerospace, Government and Military. This poster talks about few challenges to be considered in Rapid Prototyping like shrinkage and distortion of final model, mechanical performance of RP model and limitations to mass quantity. : Layer Manufacturing, CAD Model, STL format, Steriolithography, Fused Deposition Modeling, Selective Laser Sintering.

Rapid prototyping (RP) is an advanced manufacturing technology and has obtained widely application in recent years. RP technology can be used to machine complex physical part directly from CAD data without any cutter or technical equipments. A variety of new rapid manufacturing technologies have emerged and developed include Stereo Lithography (SL), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), and Three Dimensional Printing (3-D Printing). The paper summaries the working principle and discusses the application fields for four typical rapid prototyping technologies. Finally, the significant performance of rapid prototyping for modern industry is discussed. The investigation is beneficial for choosing an optimal forming process in industry.

Background: Solid free forming (SFF) technique also called additive manufacturing process is immensely popular for biofabrication owing to its high accuracy, precision and reproducibility. Method: SFF techniques like stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, extrusion printing, and inkjet printing create three dimension (3D) structures by layer by layer processing of the material. To achieve desirable results, selection of the appropriate technique is an important aspect and it is based on the nature of biomaterial or bioink to be processed. Result & Conclusion: Alginate is a commonly employed bioink in biofabrication process, attributable to its nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible nature; low cost; and tendency to form hydrogel under mild conditions. Furthermore, control on its rheological properties like viscosity and shear thinning, makes this natural anionic polymer an appropriate candidate for many of the SFF techniques. It is endeavoured in the present review to highlight the status of alginate as bioink in various SFF techniques.

Investment Castings (IC) is one of the most economical ways to produce intricate metallic parts when forging, forming and other casting processes tend to fail. However, high tooling cost and long lead time associated with the fabrication of metal moulds for producing IC wax (sacrificial) patterns result in cost justification problems for customized single casting or small-lot production. Generating pattern using rapid prototyping (RP) process may be one of the feasible alternatives. For this purpose present study assessed the suitability of the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process for creating sacrificial IC patterns by studying FDM fabricated part thermal response at various temperatures. A series of experiments with RP patterns are conducted and a set of test castings are also made in steel for establishing feasibility. The build material used is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). As an annexe to this work a concurrent attempt is also made to quantify the risk in using Selective Laser Sintering patterns for Investment Castings. Authors hope this work might establish applicability of ABS in IC and also lead the investigations to theoretically tone down the shell cracking tendency with Selective Laser Sintering patterns when Proprietary Duraform is used as the build material.

Abstract In this paper, a framework for the rapid prototyping of lower-pair, geared-pair and cam mechanisms using a commercially available CAD package and a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping machine is presented. A database of lower kinematic pairs (joints) is developed experimentally. Geared-pair and cam mechanisms are also developed. These mechanisms are then used in the design of the prototypes. Examples are presented in order to demonstrate the potential of this technique. Physical prototypes can be of great help in the design of mechanisms by allowing the 3D visualization of the mechanism as well as providing an experimental validation of the geometric and kinematic properties.

The article focuses on the samples production of organic material PLA-PolyLacticAcid – bioplastic. The main part describes the experimental testing of PolyLacticAcid plastic and sample production by Fused Deposition Modeling, Rapid Prototyping technology. The article presents selected carried out tests of mechanical properties focused mainly on the determination of ultimate tensile strength of two PLA-BIO plastic extruded horizontally along the width produced by FDM method, Rapid Prototyping. The authors of this article present their results of test materials in the form of measurement protocols recorded in software, the measured values in a static tensile test, recorded in tables and shown in work graphs. Based on the results of the two samples produced from PLA biomaterials and compared to determine which PLA – bioplastic is stronger.
