4

Rapid prototyping

Communications tool

Additive or subtractive process

Growing parts introduced in 1987

Parts of any geometric complexity

Rapid tooling

VOC


5/20

5

Rapid prototyping

Additive not intended to replace all methods of

part fabrication

Limited material choices - additive

Parts will not be as durable

May require extensive secondary finishing

operations

Rapid prototyping

A six month delay in production start can

result in a 66% loss in gm*

80% of costs of NPD before detaileddrawings released*

VOC LEAN

Touch, feel, hold vs. 3D model

Developed by MIT Powder-adhesive process

Lowest cost technology

Five times faster

Limited materials

Rapid prototyping

3-Dimensional Printing


12/20

12

Similar to 3-D printing

Fast for very small parts

Suitable for office use Polymer filament ribbon

Engineered materials: ABS,

PC, PPS

Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM


13/20

13

Most widely used process

Largest part size

High accuracy

Good surface finish Liquid polymer laser cured

Part size up to

29 x 25 x 21

Stereolithography - SLA


14/20

14

Large part size

High accuracy

Post-forming operations

Engineered resins highest

strength

Autoclave capable

Lower surface quality compared

to SLA

Selective Laser Sintering - SLS


15/20

15

Similar to inkjet printing

UV curable resin

Lower cost than SLA Suitable for office use

Thin build layer little post

build finishing

Jetted Photopolymer System - PolyJetTM
