WORKSHOP ON
RAPID PROTOTYPING & TOOLING
New Paradigms in Design and Manufacture!

November 27 - 29, 2003

Time : 9 AM To 6 PM

INTRODUCTION

Rapid Prototyping (RP) has made manufacture of complex 3D objects as easy and simple as printing a letter or a drawing or a picture. In fact, RP machines are also called 3D Printing or 3D Faxing machines. This fairly new and fascinating technology has revolutionized the way products are designed and manufactured today. RP compresses the product development cycle and Rapid Tooling (RT) shortens the tool manufacturing cycle. Rapid Prototyping & Tooling (RP&T) sharpens the competitive edge of organizations to launch new products ahead of their competitors.

PRINCIPLE

RP is the process of manufacturing physical objects directly from their CAD models without any human intervention and without the use of any tools, dies or fixtures specific to the geometry of the objects being produced. As the object is built in a layer by layer manner, RP is known more appropriately by the term Layered Manufacturing (LM). CNC machines and robots are automatic only when the fool-proof cutter path is available whereas RP machines are truly automatic as they require only a valid definition of the object geometry. While most commercially available RP processes produce only non-metallic parts, there are indirect RT and direct RP&T processes using which metallic parts and tools can be made.

BENEFITS

Concept models for better visualization

Models to check the aesthetic appeal; also for market survey

Models for form, fit and functional tests

Models for stress analysis using photo-elasticity

Models for wind tunnel tests

Models for design review

Assemblies can be made without joints. It can make parts impossible by other manufacturing methods.

RP models can be sent along with the inquiries; RP models can be submitted along with the quotations.

Medical applications in conjunction with Reverse Engineering.

Rapid Tooling cuts down productionizing time.

With an integrated approach, RP&T can shorten time to market.

FOCUS

This workshop will expose the participants to the principles and applications of RP and RT and will also cover CAD modelling specific to RP&T. As Reverse Engineering (RE) works in conjunction with RP&T, RE will be discussed on the last day. Finally some of the emerging trends in these fields will be presented. The lectures will be augmented by some demonstrations. Some experts from the user industries and some vendors and developers will share their experiences in the areas of RP&T.
