Features: Special Forming and Mold-Making Technology is divided into three parts: The first part introduces 3D product innovation and modern special mold-making, including "3D product modeling and design, design scope, and the practical significance and development trends of green virtual design and mold-making technology in special forming and mold-making methods, product innovation design procedures, considerations, and handling methods, as well as the new concepts and expressions of computer in modern product innovation development, and mold assembly modeling and management." The second part introduces modern rapid prototyping methods and new technologies for cost-effective mold-making, including "modern rapid prototyping methods and cost-effective mold-making technologies for polymer materials, metal powders and sheets, and non-metallic materials, with a special focus on the special forming processes of plaster models and their applications in forensic science and archaeology, as well as new processes for wood and paper modeling and model-making." The third part introduces modern special mechanical removal, bonding, and laser stamping mold-making technologies, including "new technologies for mold-making such as EDM, wire cutting, chemical etching of mold cavity surface patterns, chemical plating, electroforming, and nanoelectroforming, as well as special forming and rapid prototyping (or molding) and advanced manufacturing (RPM) under advanced equipment pressure." This book is a companion volume to the National "10th Five-Year" Plan Textbook for General Higher Education Special Forming and Joining Technology, providing students, engineering technicians, and young teachers with a relatively complete professional reading material for the research, innovation development, and advanced manufacturing methods of modern engineering products. This book can be used as a teaching text for undergraduate students in Materials Science and Engineering, Plastic Forming Dies, and Modern Metal Material Forming; it can also serve as a reference for students in clinical medicine (oral and bone tissue repair, surgical reconstruction), forensic science, criminal investigation, archaeology, art, bioengineering, polymer materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, metal materials, metallurgical engineering, industrial design, mechanical manufacturing, computer design, and industrial automation as teaching reference materials; it can also be used as a teaching reference for postgraduate students in the above professional directions.
