Rapid Prototype Machine
Hi everyone and Puan Manami We finally we able to experience using the Rapid Prototype Machine ourselves after the 3D assembling! So what is Rapid Prototyping? Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design ( CAD ) data. Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or " additive layer manufacturing " technology. -source from Wikipedia- How do we Rapid Prototype? 1) First we use the software connected to the machine that reads our Solidwork file by parts. The software will identify the complete structure of our part and is able to calculate how much time do we need for complete printing. 2) The machine will be able to read the file from the software and begin rapid prototyping. We were quite surprised that it actually needs to take quite a long time to complete. So we combined with another group to make s...
