3D rapid prototyping is the mechanical creation of physical substances using patented polyjet manufacturing technology. 3D rapid prototyping technologies originated in their simplest plastic and liquid hardening versions in 1988 and were initially used to make simple static model structures. Many famous artists have used 3D rapid prototyping technology to create installations for exhibitions. In recent years, the advancements in and the use of CAD and 3D rapid prototyping has continued to spread.  As such its important to understand the background and application for 3D rapid prototyping processes.

Current Usage of 3D Rapid Prototyping

3D rapid prototyping models have many uses. They make great visual aids for communicating ideas to colleagues or for presentations to customers. Being able to see, feel and hear an idea accounts for over half of one’s senses and helps make an impression on customers. One of the greatest benefits of 3D rapid prototyping is that it can significantly reduce company costs. Outsourcing 3D modeling needs to suppliers is expensive and time consuming.  With the latest 3D rapid prototyping equipment 3D printers can sit on a desk in your office.

3D printing is already applied in a number of industries and sectors. 3D rapid prototyping is currently being used by in healthcare, engineering, education, architecture and the entertainment industry. It’s also being used by paleontologists to model fossils, duplicate prehistoric artifacts and to reconstruct bones and body parts to create a 3D tangible model of ancient mankind. Today, Architects are using 3D rapid prototyping technology to design buildings with precise measurements and able to create 3D models in-house and therefore confidentially. Engineers are testing designs and able to locate errors and design flaws quicker and cheaper than previously.

Future Usage of 3D rapid prototyping

3D rapid prototyping technology is presently being studied by biotechnology firms and universities. Their objective is to use 3D rapid prototyping and engineering applications to create body parts and organs. Scientists can today use 3D rapid prototyping to place layers of living cells on to gel mediums to test and learn how they react to being transplanted to humans, therefore reducing the need for live animal testing. With the help of a 3D prototype, one day recognizable pieces of furniture in a home can replaced by a 3D printer and a recycling unit. Clothing, cutlery and books can already be printed on demand.

In the future, product designers, engineers, teachers and architects will all be using 3D rapid prototyping systems in their respective careers to teach, demonstrate and sell their concepts instantly. 3D rapid prototyping has only been around for about 2 decades and has only recently become affordable enough for businesses to use in-house. Just imagine what the future holds for 3D rapid prototyping printers.

Three Dimensional (3D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) modeling services enhance realistic impression on the look and feel of designed products of an emerging company in this online world. It is seen that 3D models have more impact on a viewers mind and able attract towards it in comparison to ordinary drawings or 2D images. Using 3D modeling services helps move products more rapidly and cost efficiently from the design stage to a finished product by providing prototypes to designers and engineers. Our 3D CAD modeling services produce prototypes, which are accurate, smooth and quickly provided by using rapid prototyping technology. Using a number of related concepts and consumer requirements, 3D models are developed for design engineers, contractors and agencies. With the increase of latest product design market, our 3D models have found a valuable need in the marketplace and are fulfilling all the requirements of product designers.

Now days 3D models are widely used along with Computer Aided Design (CAD). Our 3D CAD modeling services covers wide areas like Architectural design, Mechanical design, Structural design, product design, furniture design, footwear design and many more upcoming designed projects. 3D models are more functional and attractive. We develop 3D models in digital format with the help of latest computer softwares, which are easy editable, cost-effective and less time consuming. Those models can be represented online through your company web pages effectively with complete description.

Our 3D modeling services assist in the prototype testing phase by producing multiple prototypes quickly and more efficiently. Where redesigning, retooling and recreating prototypes in house requires a considerable amount of resources and time, Our 3D modeling services can have a redesigned prototype ready for the next phase of testing in a much shorter period of time and for less money than conventional methods. Our 3D CAD modeling services can help companies continue more economically and to comply with production schedules without any undue delays.

Engineers and design technicians can use 3D models during the conceptual stages of product design to produce prototypes of new products. Our 3D designers are able to produce rapid prototypes and provide working models of the product in development. Having working prototypes during various stages of the design process helps engineers to bring products to the stage more efficiently. Traditional prototyping methods were time consuming, costly and created many delays in the product development process. But now with outsourcing of our 3D modeling services providing companies to save the overhead expense and bring products for the next stage of development.

Our 3D modeling services allow the consumers to be developers, designers, end-users and purchasers of the product. The technology used for 3D modeling services allows an individual to have an impact in all of these roles which were in the past off limits. OriGeoCAD plays a vital role in research and development but will also play a role in providing brand new market services to both consumers and business owners.

blog.makezine.com When you think – “DIY electronics”, one of the first images that likely comes to mind is a bunch of parts and wire soldered to a standard piece of perforated circuit board – and that makes sense. Perfboard is super-versatile – essentially it’s just a grid of potential solder-point connections. You can trim it down to just the size you need – or leave extra space for future enhancements … or revisions, if need be.

Hello,

Welcome to Day 3 of our Prototype Zone Ecourse on Prototyping
Technologies. Yesterday we talked about the basics of Electron Beam
Melting and I hope you had time to check out a few more articles on
EMB on the prototype zone website.

Today we are going to go through SLS or Selective Laser Sintering.

Selective Laser Sintering or SLS is said to be a free-form
manufacturing technology which is developed by 3D systems. SLS is a
method of layered manufacturing which creates a solid 3D object by
blending powdered substances along with carbon dioxide. In other
words SLS is one of the famous mechanisms of Rapid Prototyping in
which a laser beam carefully sinters or fuses the powdered
substances such as elastomer, nylon etc. A thin layer of that
powdered substances is being laid down and the laser sketches on
the layer sintering together the elements hit by the laser. SLS can
provide a persons manufacturing company with most important
perimeter by producing metal or rapid plastic prototyping which
narrowly matches their molded complements

One of the most important features of Selective Laser Sintering is
how functional and durable the substances are. These substances
normally include versions of new DuraForm glass-filled, which is a
nylon based substance that creates functional and highly durable
plastic prototypes. Some of the other substances available with SLS
include LaserForm, Flex Plastic for elastomeric and rubber like
parts that create metal prototypes.

There’s a category page on the Prototype Zone website with more
free information on SLS – which would be good to go look at tonight
to gain a bit more informatio on SLS. You can find this information
at: http://www.prototypezone.com/selective-laser-sintering/ on our
prototype zone community website.

Tomorrow we will learn about another Rapid Prototyping technology,
LOM or Laminated Object Manufacturing.

See you Tomorrow,
Ivan Irons
