Top 3 Problems Existed in the Rapid Prototyping Technology

Rapid Prototype technology, also known as rapid prototyping manufacturing technology, was born in the late 1980s and is considered a major achievement in the manufacturing field in the past 20 years. Rapid Prototype's technology integrates mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse engineering technology, layered manufacturing technology, numerical control technology, material science, and laser technology. It can automatically, directly, quickly, and accurately transform design ideas into prototypes with certain functions.

Direct manufacturing of parts provides an efficient and low-cost implementation tool for parts prototyping and verification of new design ideas. Rapid Prototype technology faces many problems, so what are the problems with Rapid Prototype's technology? Let's take a look together next.

The following is a list of contents:

Process problem of Rapid Prototype

Material issues of Rapid Prototype

Accuracy of Rapid Prototype

Process problem of Rapid Prototype

The basis of Rapid Prototype is the principle of layered stacking. However, what material is used for layered stacking and how to perform layered stacking are of great research value. Therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned common layered stacking forming methods, some new layered stacking forming methods are being researched and developed to further improve the performance of the parts and increase the forming accuracy and forming efficiency of Rapid Prototype.

Material issues of Rapid Prototype

The research of Rapid Prototype materials has always been a hot issue. The properties of Rapid Prototype materials must meet: it is conducive to rapid and accurate processing and molding. The materials used for rapid prototyping systems to directly manufacture functional parts must be close to the end-use of the parts. The strength, stiffness, moisture resistance, thermal stability, and other requirements.

Rapid Prototype material facilitates the subsequent processing of rapid mold making. The development of brand-new RP materials, especially composite materials, such as nanomaterials, heterogeneous materials, and materials that are difficult to produce by other methods, is still the direction of efforts.

Accuracy of Rapid Prototype

The accuracy of Rapid Prototype parts is generally at the level of ±0.1 mm, especially in the height direction. The basic principle of Rapid Prototype technology determines that the process is difficult to achieve the surface quality and accuracy indicators of traditional machining. Integrating the basic forming ideas of Rapid Prototype with traditional machining methods and complementing each other is an important method to improve the accuracy of Rapid Prototype.
