241. Rapid Prototyping Technology

Rapid prototyping: rapid prototyping technology, also known as solid free forming technology, rapid prototyping technology is based on three-dimensional computer modeling, three-dimensional model in the treatment, the formation of cross-section contour, then a variety of materials, three-dimensional model of the section profile at information scanning, and the material bonding, curing, sintering, layer by layer stacking a physical prototypes.

Laser sintering depth: It is important to directly affect the quality of one of the factors sintering, mainly by the laser energy parameters and powder material parameters determined. Among them, the laser energy parameters and include the laser power, laser beam scanning speed, laser line length and width; powder material parameters include powder material on the laser absorption rate, powder melting point, heat capacity, particle size and distribution, particle morphology and Shop powder density.

Forming precision: evaluation of molding quality is one of the most important indicators, it is the cornerstone of the development of rapid prototyping technology. Value generally refers to the machine precision accuracy, even if given is designed to make the accuracy of standard parts, rather than making any workpiece that can be achieved with precision.

Direct modeling: Using SLS, FDM, LOM rapid prototyping process method and other direct manufacturing a resin mold, ceramic mold and metal molds.

Indirect mold: The mold for rapid prototyping parts or excessive mold, the mold through traditional manufacturing methods to produce mold.

Soft mold technique: using a variety of rapid prototyping technology include SLA, SLS, LOM, directly to model (Virtual Model) into the mechanical properties of certain metallic prototypes (Physical Model), in many cases to use as a soft mode, for the production of small quantities of plastic parts.

Bridge Mode Production: The liquid epoxy resin composite materials of organic or inorganic materials as the base to the prototype as the base casting mold mold an indirect method.
