Features: Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing Technology, also known as Rapid Prototyping Technology. As an advanced manufacturing technology, it has undergone rapid development since its inception in the 1980s and has been widely applied in the field of engineering. This technology breaks the traditional manufacturing model by utilizing the principle of discretization/stacking, eliminating the need for any tools or molds. It directly drives the CAD model to quickly complete prototypes and parts of arbitrary complex shapes, thereby significantly shortening the development cycle of new products and greatly enhancing the market competitiveness of enterprises. This book systematically elaborates on the concept, basic content, and main technical methods of Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing Technology, compares the characteristics of different processes, and provides an in-depth analysis of the principles and process of commercially available manufacturing technologies. It explores issues such as data processing and software development, material selection, and engineering applications, and points out the future development direction of this technology.
