Common Terms

• Rapid Prototyping– General term for automatic

construction of a physical

prototype object on a machine.

• Rapid Manufacturing– General term for the automatic construction of a physical object

that will be used as a production item.

• 3D Printing– Process for creating 3D objects from a materials printer. Generally

more desktop and affordable machines.

STL Files

• Industry standard file format used by Stereolithography software to generate information needed to produce 3D models on rapid prototype machines.


3D Printing Applications

• Concept Models– Used to evaluate, optimize, and

communicate your designs.

• Functional Prototypes– Allow you to test in real-world environments and make decisions.

• End-use Parts– Build small quantities of parts that are tough enough for production.


Benefits of Rapid Prototyping

• Time Savings– Improve Design– Increase Visualization

• Cost Savings / Reduction– No prototype tooling and parts– Small Qualities– Detect design flaws early


Validate Design Form


Functional Prototypes


Considerations

• Tolerances– +/- 0.005 inch or +/- 0.0015 inch per inch

whichever is greater

• Build Sizes– 15” x 14” x 15” (Average)– 36” x 24” x 36” (Large)

• Material Properties– Wax Based Materials– Plastic Based Materials (ABS, Polycarbonate)– Metal Based Materials (Newer)

Automation



• Complex and Styled Parts


Plastic Part Modeling Methods

• Solid Shell Method

• Surface Thicken Method


Designing Styles Parts

• Industrial design products like Autodesk® Alias® support rapid creation and manipulation of complex surfaces and development of Class-A surfaces.


Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

• What is DFM?– DFM is the process of proactively designing products to optimize all

the manufacturing functions to assure the best cost and quality.

• Why DFM?– Lower development cost– Shorter development time– Faster manufacturing start to build– Lower assembly and test cost– Higher quality


Injection Molding Manufacturing

• The process consists of a mold that normally has two halves that seal together for the filling of melted plastic.


Injection Molding Machines


Good Plastic Injected Part Design

• Most critical factor is keep the part wall thickness uniform throughout part.

• Have proper draft angle on part to ease ejection from mold. (0.5 – 2 Degrees Normal)

• Avoid undercuts requiring slider cores when possible to avoid complexity.

• Avoid sharp corners by adding radius.


Examples


Mold Analysis

• Autodesk® Moldflow® allows you to simulate the filling of the injection molding process to predict the flow of melted plastic.


Moldflow Benefits

• Identify Possible Defects– Weld Lines & Sink Marks– Warpage & Shrinkage

• Optimize Manufacturing– Ensure Proper Injection Mold Design– Material Selection

• Simulation– Use as-manufactured material properties


Summary Process Example

• Step 1 = Conceptual Design• Step 2 = Product Engineering• Step 3 = Produce Rapid Prototype• Step 4 = Make Required Improvements• Step 5 = Simulate and Test Design• Step 6 = Visualize Design for Final Approval• Step 7 = Manufacture for Production


Franke - Case Study

“Autodesk Inventor has played a critical role in helping us increase development cycle speed for new products. The ability to use digital prototyping to virtually explore a complete product before it is built saves us time at every step of the product development cycle, from the industrial design phase though the manufacturing process.”

Christian SperkaChief Information OfficerFrankeSwitzerland

ChallengeTo maintain its competitive leadership position in the kitchen technology industry, Franke needed a continuous digital pipeline for its product design data.

Results

• Enabled users to validate design and engineering decisions as they worked, minimizing the need for physical prototypes.

• Reduced costly engineering changes that previously were discovered after the design was sent to manufacturing.

• Helped provide quick and effective communication between diverse business teams.


Jede Automater - Case Study

“By virtually exploring our products before they become real, we are able to order materials at an early stage and easily stay within our budgets. It is quite clear that Digital Prototyping saves us both time and money.”

Marcus BerntsonDevelopment ManagerJede AutomaterSweden

ChallengeTo stay ahead of increasingly tough competition in the marketplace, Jede Automater sought an efficient development workflow with the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping.

Results

• Designed, visualized, and simulated its products in Inventor to significantly reduce time to market.

• Reused design data and automated the release and change management processes using Vault Manufacturing.

• Collected direct feedback from customers with highly realistic renderings.

Solid Body Modeling

• Multi-body parts are a versatile and powerful approach to skeletal modeling.

• The versatility and power of multi-body parts is expanded with the ability to derive multiple bodies into a single part, conduct Boolean operations between solid bodies, split a solid body into two bodies, and move bodies within the part.
