Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing: A Review of Current Technologies

Abstract: The idea to develop processes capable to produce physical components quickly and without requiring tooling, led to the development of the “free form fabrication” (FFF) or “rapid prototyping” (RP) technologies in the early 1980s. RP systems generally build up a prototype directly from the computer-aided design (CAD) data by using an additive “layer by layer” method. The RP technologies have brought several advantages to the manufacturing industry in such a way that these technologies are evolving toward the pro… Show more

“…Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) is an emerging manufacturing technology developed over the past three decades and is capable of producing complex freeform parts directly from a computer aided design (CAD) model [11][12][13]. SFF systems generally build up a prototype by using an additive layer-by-layer method involving fusion deposition, inkjet printing, laser sintering, photo polymerization, and other processes.…”

“…From their origins, AM technologies have been used for creating models and prototypes (Rapid Prototyping), end-use parts (Rapid Manufacturing), and long-term tools for mass production of parts (Rapid Tooling) [29,34]. According to the operation principle AM technologies can be comprehensively classified into four main categories [1]: additive, subtractive, forming and hybrid processes. More recently, the ASTM grouped the complete range of AM technologies into seven categories: binder jetting, direct energy deposition, material extrusion, material jetting, powder bed fusion, sheet lamination, and vat photopolymerization [32].…”

“…Thus, the proposed DfAM strategies concerning part quality are shown in Table 4. Since the part geometry strategies shown in Table 3 are also related to the (1) to ensure the removal of support structures [21] If accessibility to the gap between elements is given along the complete width, the gap width can be chosen freely [21] Gaps' lengths can be chosen freely because no disperse support structures are contained inside the gaps [21] Consider the build volume constraint of the available geometrical quality of the part, they must be also considered to assure the quality of the FDM part.…”
