This paper presents the working principle of rapid prototyping technology based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) and summaries its technology features. The basic constitution of FDM system, such as mechanical device and control cell, are discussed, respectively. Selecting a deep groove ball bearing as experimental object and manufactured in the MEM320A rapid prototyping machine to demonstrate the FDM fabrication process. Investigate into the application of FDM on production design, function demonstration and biomedical engineering. Finally, the future development of FDM is prospected.

Finite element analysis is an advanced technology, by which a complicated engineering problem can be solved by theory analysis. Firstly, we build a 3D model of a hydraulic component under 3D software environment. Then the component model is load into FEA module. Subsequently, the model is meshed and set the outer loading. At last, the analysis step is conducted and get the result. The result showed the optimized structure of component. It assumed that the study result have some value for further improved design

In the design of die casting mould，the design of the interior sprue gate is very important. The high-velocity filling operation of metal liquid and flow order are the main factors of determining product quality in the die-casting process. Based on the working experience for many years, after carrying on investigation, counting, analyzing a lot of moulds that have been proved through production, think:In all factors of design of the interior sprue gate, the position, direction, dimensions, sectional shape are four important factors.

The elastic buckling load is physically important in design of the pressure vessel with shell framework because it is actually the critical step in a thin-walled shell configuration that will eventually lead to complete failure. An finite element model of vacuum autoclave was established and the buckling load calculations under the extreme operating conditons have been carried out to obtain the modal deformation condition and the safety factor. The results showed that the structure has a higher safety factor, which indicated that the vacuum autoclave design can meet the working conditon requirements.
