Rapid prototyping technology is a new integrated manufacturing technology involving multiple disciplines. after the 80s, with the application of computer-aided design, product modeling and design capabilities have been greatly improved, however, after the product design is completed, before mass production, samples must be made to express the design concept, to quickly obtain feedback on product design, and to evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility of product design. In today’s increasingly competitive market, time is efficiency. In order to improve the competitiveness of the product market, the whole process from product development to batch production urgently needs to reduce costs and increase speed. The emergence of rapid prototyping technology has provided an effective way to solve this problem, and it has gained much attention at home and abroad.
Due to the fast processing efficiency, it is now useful for developing molds for commercial purposes. The reliance on this procedure stems from the short production time from start to finish.
Company personnel need CAD files only during the design phase. Rapid tooling requires less time and resources to produce the molds. In the healthcare industry, dentists use dental molds made of silicone for their patients. The level of accuracy of this process requires the use of rapid tooling.
You can use rapid tooling to develop different designs and parts. It helps to produce small batch parts that are time sensitive. Customers need some prototypes and designs before going to market.
Manufacturing parts for any industry is expensive. To reduce unnecessary costs, designers and engineers use quick tools to check the fit of parts. Performing this process allows them to identify potential future defects and plan redesigns.
Quick tools catch problems in advance and prevent further problems with the final product. This process is cost effective for both the customer and the manufacturer.
Quick Tools are available as hard or soft tools. Designers can use a variety of materials in the manufacturing process, including wood, wax, photosensitive polymers, thermosensitive polymers, composites, metals and ceramics. You can use this technique to produce both metallic and non-metallic prototypes.
Soft molds are standard for producing small batches of plastic and wax materials. On the other hand, for materials such as ceramics and metals, companies can use high-volume production molds. All parts made with these molds have outstanding quality and finishing.
The automotive world has many different uses for silicone products. As you drive down the road hugging the turns on your way to work, you may not realize how much of an effect rapid prototyping has had on the performance and safety of your vehicle! From seals to engine components and more, rapid prototyping has helped develop the modern automobile.
Every day doctors, patients, and hospital staff rely on medical equipment to function properly. As technology advances and new equipment is developed, rapid prototyping helps manufacturers get products to market faster; and the faster products come to market, the quicker they are able to help doctors treat and prevent illnesses.
Rapid prototyping is often used to take a product from an idea to a finished product by making adjustments with each different stage of prototyping. This allows manufacturers to meet expectations for durability and functionality, two attributes that are extremely important in a military application. In this way, rapid prototyping helps to improve the products used on a regular basis by men and women in our armed forces.
Aeronautical accomplishments like putting a man into orbit, landing on the moon, or creating the international space station would not have been possible without the use of silicone. In fact, you might be surprised by the many uses of silicone in aeronautics. As engineers and astronauts seek to build on their accomplishments, rapid prototyping is helping them to design and develop the products of the future.
From concept to manufacturing, Rapid Prototyping is the most cost-effective solution for telecommunication companies. As they seek to connect the world, rapid prototyping is a key part of developing these new technologies.
There’s a reason that they call the technology capital of the USA “silicone valley”. The name comes from the use of silicone in microchips, a basic building block of the computer. When you consider the products that you use every day, like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, you may be surprised by how much silicone is used. The next time you purchase a new computer, consider that it was probably designed and created through rapid silicone prototyping.
