Features: This book discusses data processing methods in rapid prototyping technology, presenting typical algorithms and implementation strategies. It systematically and comprehensively introduces typical processes in rapid prototyping technology from aspects such as process principles and system composition. It analyzes the specific characteristics and existing issues of each typical process, elaborates on their development directions, and examines the main factors affecting forming accuracy in typical rapid prototyping processes, proposing corresponding countermeasures. The book systematically elaborates on the applications of rapid prototyping technology in various aspects, including verifying conceptual design, confirming design, performance testing, and the creation of master and locating models for manufacturing molds. It also introduces the application, development, and research of materials in rapid prototyping technology. Finally, it discusses the latest research progress in rapid prototyping technology for functionally graded materials, nanomaterials, and metallic materials. This book can serve as a reference for technical personnel engaged in related research and development, as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and materials processing disciplines in higher education institutions.
