Rapid Prototyping
Posted on 01/01/2019 Category:
Fabrication of a physical, three-dimensional part of arbitrary shape directly from a numerical description (typically a CAD model) by a quick, highly automated and totally flexible process. Methods include SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) of a powder or SLA (Sterolithography Apparatus) of an ultraviolet cureable photopolymer. Products are built layer by layer, and as such shapes can be generated that are not manufacturable by any other method.
