The course will explain the working principles of the mature technologies and compare their strengths and weaknesses. Video presentation of the SLA, Polyjet, SGC, LOM, FDM, SLS and 3DP processes and parts made by theses processes and several other processes will be exhibited. Industrial examples from various applications (including aerospace, automobile, jewelry, coin, biomedical engineering, etc.”) will be illustrated.
Opposed to a conventional machining process which takes away excess material from a block of work piece, 3-Dimensional Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (3DRPM) produce parts by building one layer upon another in a horizontal manner. This offers many advantages over machining limitations such as the capability to produce complex and difficult-to-machine models (e.g. A sphere in a thin-necked bottle, straight corners of pockets in typical engineering components, small, intricate jewellery ring). Jigs and fixtures are also no longer needed.
Because 3DRPM is linked to CAD/CAM systems, it is able to produce a component in a short turn around time. As a result, it has great potential, especially for today’s products, which have very short product life.
There are currently no less than 30 different 3DRPM namely, Stereolithography (SLA), Solid Ground Curing (SGC), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), Fused Deposition Modeling, Direct Shell Production Casting (DSPC), Multiphase Jet Solidification (MJS), and EOS’s EOSINT Systems. Among the newest systems are CAM-LEM’s CL 100, Shape Deposition Manufacturing, Acrom’s Electro Beam Melting and Aeromet Corporation’s Lasform Technology.
