WHAT IS PROTOTYPE ?
• APPROXIMATION OF A FINAL PRODUCT.
• TO IDENTIFY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS .
• TO CONFIRM THE SUITABILITY OF A DESIGN PRIOR TO STARTING MASS
PRODUCTION .
• FOR VISUALIZATION PURPOSES.
• USED AS MARKET RESEARCH AND PROMOTIONAL TOOLS.
DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID PROTOTYPING

• AGE-OLD PRACTICE FOR MANY CENTURIES .


• PROTOTYPING AS A SKILLED CRAFT IS TRADITIONAL AND MANUAL AND BASED ON
MATERIAL OF PROTOTYPE.
• NATURAL PROTOTYPING TECHNIQUE.
• MID 1970’S
• INCREASING COMPLEXITY
RAPID PROTOTYPING
• TECHNOLOGIES USED TO QUICKLY FABRICATE A PHYSICAL MODEL DIRECTLY
FROM COMPUTER DATA.
• THE FIRST RAPID PROTOTYPING METHOD, CALLED STEREO LITHOGRAPHY, WAS
DEVELOPED IN THE LATE 1980S, BUT MORE SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES ARE
AVAILABLE TODAY.
TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING SYSTEMS

 SLA (STEREO LITHOGRAPHY)


 SLS (SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING)
 LOM (LAMINATE OBJECT MANUFACTURING)
 FDM (FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING).
BASIC OPERATING SKILLS OF RP

• BUILDING COMPUTER MODEL


• MODEL IS BUILD BY CAD/CAM SYSTEM.
• MODEL MUST BE DEFINED AS ENCLOSED VOLUME OR SOLID.
• CONVERTING MODEL INTO STL FILE FORMAT
• STEREO LITHOGRAPHY (STL) FILE IS A STANDARD FORMAT TO DESCRIBE CAD
GEOMETRY USED IN RP SYSTEM.
APPLICATIONS OF RAPID PROTOTYPING
• APPLICATIONS OF RAPID PROTOTYPING CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE
CATEGORIES:
• DESIGN
• ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND PLANNING
• TOOLING AND MANUFACTURING
ADVANTAGES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING

• PROCESS IS FAST AND ACCURATE.


• SUPERIOR QUALITY SURFACE FINISH IS OBTAINED.
• SEPARATE MATERIAL CAN BE USED FOR COMPONENT AND SUPPORT
• NO NEED TO DESIGN JIGS AND FIXTURES.
• NO NEED OF MOULD OR OTHER TOOLS.
LIMITATIONS OF RAPID PROTOTYPING

• SOME TIMES STAIRCASE EFFECT IS OBSERVED


• MANY TIMES COMPONENT GET DISTORTED.
• LIMITED RANGE OF MATERIALS.
• COST OF OPERATING.
