Figure 2.1: The Rapid Prototyping Wheel depicting the 4 major aspects of RP
![Page 5: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Input refers to the electronic information required to describe the physical object with 3D data.
There are two possible starting points – a computer model or a physical model.
The computer model created by a CAD system can be either a surface model or a solid model.
![Page 6: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
On the other hand, 3D data from the physical model is not at all straightforward.
It requires data acquisition through a method known as reverse engineering.
In reverse engineering, a wide range of equipment digitizer, to capture data points of the physical model and “reconstruct” it in CAD system.
![Page 7: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
While they are currently more than 20 vendors for RP systems, the method employed by each vendor can be generally classified into the following categories:◦photo-curing, ◦cutting and glueing/joining, ◦melting and solidifying/fusing and
joining/binding.
![Page 8: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Photo-curing can be further divided into categories of ◦single laser beam, ◦double laser beams and ◦masked lamp
![Page 9: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The initial state of material can come in either ◦solid, liquid or powder state.
In solid state, it can come in various forms such ◦a pallets, wire or laminates.
The current range materials include ◦paper, nylon, wax, resins, metals and
ceramics.
![Page 10: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Most of the RP parts are finished or touched up before they are used for their intended applications.
Applications can be grouped into:◦Design◦Engineering, Analysis and Planning◦Tooling and Manufacturing
![Page 11: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A wide range of industries can benefit from RP and these include, but are not limited to, ◦aerospace, ◦automotive, ◦biomedical, consumer, ◦electrical and electronics products.
![Page 12: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LIQUID BASED, SOLID BASED, POWDER BASED
![Page 13: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Liquid-based RP systems have the initial form of its material in liquid state.
Through a process commonly known as curing, the liquid is converted into the solid state.
The following RP systems fall into this category:1) 3D Systems’ Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA)2) Cubital’s Solid Ground Curing (SGC)3) Sony’s Solid Creation System (SCS)4) CMET’s Solid Object Ultraviolet-Laser Printer (SOUP)
![Page 14: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

As is illustrated in the RP Wheel in Figure 2.1, three methods are possible under the “Photo-curing” method. ◦ The single laser beam method is most widely use and
includes all the above RP systems with the exception of (2), (11), (13) and (14).
◦ Cubital (2) and Light Sculpting (11) use the masked lamp method, while the two laser beam method is still not commercialized.
◦ Rapid Freeze (13) involves the freezing of water droplets and deposits in a manner much like FDM to create the prototype.

Except for powder, solid-based RP systems are meant to encompass all forms of material in the solid state.
In this context, the solid form can include the shape in the form of ◦ a wire, a roll, laminates and pallets.
The following RP systems fall into this definition:1)Cubic Technologies’ Laminated Object
Manufacturing (LOM)2)Stratasys’ Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
![Page 17: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Referring to the RP Wheel in Figure 2.1, two methods are possible for solid-based RP systems.
RP systems (1), (3), (4) and (9) belong to the Cutting and Glueing/Joining method,
while the Melting and Solidifying/Fusing method used RP systems (2), (5), (6), (7) and (8).
![Page 19: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In a strict sense, powder is by-and-large in the solid state.
However, it is intentionally created as a category outside the solid-based RP systems to mean powder in grain-like form.
The following RP systems fall into this definition:1) 3D Systems’s Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)2) EOS’s Corporation EOSINT Systems3) Z Corporation’s Three-Dimensional Printing (3DP)4) Optomec’s Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS)
![Page 20: TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING - ADDITIVE PROCESS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021500/542c574b8d7f72e62f8b4995/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

All the above RP systems employ the Joining/Binding method.
The method of joining/binding differs for the above systems in that some employ a laser while others use a binder/glue to achieve the joining effect.
