Rapid Prototyping in Mechanical Engineering | Classification of Rapid Prototyping.
Classification of Rapid Prototyping These are the following classification that are discussed below further in details- Liquid - Based Rapid Prototyping Solid - Based Rapid Prototyping Powder-Based Rapid Prototyping Extrusion Based Rapid Prototyping Sheet Based Rapid Prototyping Binder Jetting Process 1. Liquid Based Rapid Prototyping: In liquid based Rapid Prototyping, liquid resign is used and solidify layer by layer. For Example - SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus). The Main features of this RP process are High accuracy, smooth surface finish, costly material. 2. Solid Based Rapid Prototyping: In solid based RP solid material (sheet / filament / wire) is used and after cutting layer by layer to produce product. For Example FDM, LOM. The Main features are low cost, easy operation, medium accuracy. 3. Powder Based Rapid Prototyping: In Powder based RP, powder is fused in binder or laser. For Example SLS, SLM, EBM. The Main features are strong parts, metal component possible, industrial...
