This document discusses several types of rapid prototyping (RP) technologies. It describes the input, method, materials, and applications of RP. It provides details on liquid-based systems like stereolithography (SLA), solid-based systems like fused deposition modeling (FDM), and powder-based systems like selective laser sintering (SLS). For each approach, it outlines the basic process, common materials used, advantages, and limitations. The document serves as an overview of fundamental RP concepts and several important RP techniques.
Selective Laser Sintering is one of the most used processes of Rapid Prototyping. It is a powder based process where powder of different metals/materials get sintered by LASER.
FDM Process introduction (A part of Additive Manufacturing Technique OR Commonly Known as 3D Printing). 3D printing is an evolved manufacturing technique; it is comparatively better than conventional substractive manufacturing. There is minimum wastage of material because material is added only at those locations where it is required. To make 3D model you need a 3D printer and feeding material and obviously power source. Any thermoplastic material whose melting temperature lies in the range of 150-240 deg. C can be used in FDM based 3D printing.

Prototyping and user testing is the best way to create successful products, but many enterprises skip this important step, ultimately leading to overspending and underdelivery. This presentation shares key learnings from working with enterprises attempting to drive innovation around digital product initiatives, the challenges encountered, and how we are using rapid prototyping to overcome.
Slides from a talk I did at Web Directions South in Sydney Oct 2009.
Outline:
Designing for dynamic web applications and mobile devices poses a new set of challenges. Web designers are increasingly being asked to apply their skills to where the page model no longer applies. We need new ways of exploring the user experience and communicating behaviours involving sub-page changes and movement.
Enter rapid prototyping. Widely acclaimed as one of the best ways to create great user experiences, it isn't without it's own pitfalls. This session will discuss the pros and cons of different prototyping techniques, and introduce a new technique called "screenflows" that focuses on visualising the user experience.
Discover how to combine the best of paper prototyping, wireframes and HTML prototyping into one simple and effective prototyping technique. Learn how using this method can dramatically decrease the need for documentation, while increasing the speed and agility of the development process.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
4. Figure 2.1: The Rapid Prototyping Wheel depicting
the 4 major aspects of RP
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Photo-curing can be further divided
into categories of
◦ single laser beam,
◦ double laser beams and
◦ masked lamp
9. 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.
10. 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
11. 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.
13. 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)
14. 5) Autostrade’s E-Darts
6) Teijin Seiki’s Soliform System
7) Meiko’s Rapid Prototyping System for the Jewelry
Industry
8) Denken’s SLP
9) Mitsui’s COLAMM
10)Fockele & Schwarze’s LMS
11)Light Sculpting
12)Aaroflex
13)Rapid Freeze
14)Two Laser Beams
15)Micro-fabrication
15. 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.
.
16. 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)
17. 3) Kira Corporation’s Paper Lamination Technology (PLT)
4) 3D Systems’ Multi-Jet Modeling System (MJM)
5) Solidscape’s ModelMaker and PatternMaster
6) Beijing Yinhua’s Slicing Solid Manufacturing (SSM),
Melted Extrusion Modeling (MEM) and Multi-Functional
RPM Systems (M-RPM)
7) CAM-LEM’s CL 100
8) Ennex Corporation’s Offset Fabbers
18. 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).
19. 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 Systems
3) Z Corporation’s Three-Dimensional Printing (3DP)
4) Optomec’s Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS)
20. 5) Soligen’s Direct Shell Production Casting (MJS)
6) Fraunhofer’s Multiphase Jet Solidifcation (MJS)
7) Acram’s Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
8) Aeromet Corporation’s Lasform Technology
9) Precision Optical Manufacturing’s Direct Metal
Deposition (DMDTM
)
10)Generis’ RP System (GS)
11)Therics Inc.’s Theriform Technology
12)Extrude Hone’s PrometalTM
3D Printing Process
21. 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.
