Rapid product design and manufacturing

摘要: Publisher Summary The competition for both domestic and international markets has become more fierce with rapidly changing demands technologies adding to the need flexibility, adaptability, much shorter product development cycle. This places urgent on manufacturers deploy new in a timely cost-effective manner put place necessary organization structure support process ensure responsiveness requirements. A set of promising manufacturing techniques that are based material deposition (material increase manufacturing) instead removal or deformation breaking through. Considerable interest been shown by industry rapid prototyping during design cycle, as well finished parts. advent these may be important nineties numerical control fifties sixties. Their full impact needs evaluated quantified terms quality resulting products, their form, dimensional accuracy, surface finish relative intended functions.
