Rapid Prototyping Knowledge Base
What is Rapid Prototyping exactly? hi i would like to know abt Rapid Prototyping in simple words....... i dont want the technical data i.e. technique, method,etc. but want the answer in such words than any non technical person can understand what RP is? so, plz dont answer technically technical link is not expected.....................
Working with 3D modelling and Rapid Prototyping I am interested to see if there are any oppertunities in South Korea for Engineers working with 3D modeling (Solid Edge) and Rapid Prototype machines, Stratasys Titan FDM or EnvisionTec Perfactory? I am currently working in the UK and have been using this technology for many years and would like to transfer my skills to work in South Korea. Many thanks.
Is the rapid prototype machine going to replace INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS? I am interested being an industrial designer, but I read something about the rapid prototyping machine is going to a bad thing for industrial designers. (wikipedia) Also does anybody know if the salary is good for an ID, or if it is really hard to get a job? Any info would be vastly appreciated.
Rapid prototyping costs? I want to reproduce a batch of replica, rare classic car body parts : 1 x front bumper skirt - APPROX: (L)1800 x (W)40 x (D)40 mm 1 x rear bumper skirt - APPROX: (L)1800 x (W)60 x (D)15 mm 2 x side skirts - APPROX: (L)2000 x (W)10 x (D)15 mm I'm thinking about having them in ABS (thought I don't know enough yet to make a decision) Not sure how easy it would be to answer this but providing I had the parts which could be copied; roughly how much would I be talking cost wise? They need to be of a good standard as they would be used on the road and would hope to sell these if financially viable
Where can I get an affordable rapid prototype made from plastics? I'm looking to have a rapid prototype made for a product I'm working on. I can't seem to locate the resources online. I'm thinking either CNC machined from plastic? Maybe one of those laser prototyping machines with the vat of liquid? Heck, even a plastic printer? Any ideas anyone! I'm looking for a company to perform this task at an affordable rate.
In what story do dreams become a tangible reality? I am holding a lecture on Rapid Prototyping soon and I would like to open it with a childrens' story on how something somebody imagined becomes real. Rapid Prototyping is about having computer models conveniently made by machines, so you "dream it up" on screen, "flick a switch", and bzzztt - here's your dream object, miraculously become reality. I'm looking for a nice story to relate to that. Is there anything? Thanks. I just need a fairy tale - one in which somebody may have been thinking "sheesh, I wish I had a horse", and started imagining the horse in all its detail, and suddenly, a fairy comes and the horse becomes reality, that kind of thing. I simply don't know my fairy tales very well, you see. Do you?
What plastic tire design gets the best traction on tile? Its a project for school we have to design a car and tires from a rapid prototyping machine and we have to run them on an electric motor but it will be on tile i don't think it will have very good traction if i just make a regular tire.
Prices of Rapid Protyping? Hello, Just out of curiosity... I have a 3D drawing of an machine that I would like a model off.... does anyone out there know how much 'Rapid Prototyping' or 3D printing would cost (in the UK) for say, a piece 12" long, 3" wide and 4" high. I'm not at the stage with the drawing and process to get real quotes - just after a budget price for now (or a rough guess!)
The temperature history in a metal deposition material? Metal Deposition (MD) is a rapid prototyping teqnique to build parts by depositing metal in a required fashion. The technique uses a weldingheat source to melt a powder or a wire material which solidifies on a surface, thus enabling a part to be built drop-by-drop.
Example of Spiral. RAD, Waterfall & Prototyping ? I am looking for example of Project Development Life Cycle's various types. Waterfall, Spiral, RAD (Rapid Application Development), & Prototyping Models. An example or where these models are applied also would be sufficient too. Thanks in Advance!
Is it possible to create an stl file from surface models in autocad 2006, or only Rhino? I can create stl files for rapid prototyping from solid models in Autocad, but I would like the option of creating stl files from surface models in Autocad. I have been told that my best bet is to switch to Rhino (another CAD application) because Autocad just can't do it. Is that true? Can Autocad export surface models to any other format than stl that I might be able to use in my Roland Modela4 software, such as .3ds? Nigel
could you help me to understand this long sentence ? that are this sentence say ? can someone translate it into simple english ? A more complete definition of rapid prototyping can therefore be given as the use of 3D computer geometry in the production of components using a layer-based additive build process in condensed time-scales. does the beginning say : a definition of RP has been given to this : a use of ........ ?
How can I get my new website listed for search engines to find it easily? Hello and thanks in advance for reading this!! How can I get my new website listed for search engines easily? I would like it to show up in the top somewhere. My website is www.giesinc.com and I designed it with my keywords as follows in an area where they told me to put them on using SiteBuilder: (rapid,prototype,fdm,prototyping,prototypes,mockup,mockups,3D, model, abs, dimension, sst, printer, metro, detroit, area, shipping, overnight,sameday,design,services,CAD,modeling,marketing,sample,samples). I offer nationwide delivery of solid model prototypes with same-day local service (Metropolitan Detroit Area), and overnight delivery nationwide. Prototypes are made from 3D CAD models and printed on a special printer that prints the model in 3D using ABS plastic. Does it cost me anything to have the site listed and to keep it higher in rankings? Tx so much for your help! Nate www.giesinc.com
Is there a Rails-like framework for Java? I need to do some VERY RAPID prototyping (a use-once and throw-away application) and it has to be in 100% pure Java. Is there any Java framework which provides the same rapid development (especially database integration) as Ruby On Rails? Thanks

Going from Engineering to Special Education and worried!? I am currently a Biomedical Engineering student. I LOVE MATH, science, some physics, and all analytical things. However, I cannot stand engineering. Why? I don't know. I don't want to work for a big corporation all my life. I don't want to work in a male dominated atmosphere (I had a job at a rapid prototyping center and the males were horrible to work with- i.e. "Oop, go do that with Sophie, she's a girl." "Why are females so ______?" I always wanted to go into a field where I could help people who really need it (the underdogs)- originally I wanted to go to med school and work at a free clinic. Money is NOT an issue. I really want to work with kids who have special needs- give them the care and attention and good teaching they need. But I am SO SCARED that I am going to miss calculus, and thermodynamics, etc, etc. How can I incorporate these things into my life without a career in them?
crankshaft dimensions? we need to compare the model ( crankshaft ) using conventional manufacturing , carpentery , and rapid prototyping and are willing to compare the results
Art, Craft, and Technology; the conceptual question? I have an interest in the relationship between art and technology, especially within the "craft" mediums. Although there has been much debate over the questions of tradition vs innovation, mostly in terms of material and process, what I don't see being pinned-down is the conceptual implications of technology really being considered in a comparable light to the traditional relationships concept and art-craft have explored. It seams that technologies such as CAD, rapid prototyping, and alt materials have become all the rage, but why? What beyond the superior production capabilities, wonderment, and ease is the reason tech is being so embraced? Believe me, I am not an ardent traditionalist, I want to believe in the power of technology to be a significant consideration in placing art in context with contemporary society, but I just can't quite put my finger on the reason behind the reasons we are embracing it so extensively. There has to be sophisticated implication, what are yur thoughts?
