The Application Field of Rapid Prototyping

Automobile and motorcycle: design, modification and assembly test of shape and interior accessories, trial production of engine and cylinder head.

Household appliances: the shape and structure design of various household appliances, assembly test and functional verification, market publicity, mold manufacturing.

Communication products: product shape and structure design, assembly test, functional verification, die manufacturing.

Aerospace: Direct manufacture of special parts, trial manufacture of impellers, turbines and blades, trial manufacture and assembly test of engines.

Light industry: design, validation, assembly of various products, market promotion, rapid manufacturing of toys and footwear moulds.

National defense: the design, assembly and trial-manufacture of various weapon parts, the direct production of special parts, and the model production of remote sensing information.

In a word, the development of rapid prototyping technology is a breakthrough in the field of manufacturing in the past 20 years. It is quite different from the traditional method in manufacturing principle. More importantly, RP technology can shorten the product development cycle, reduce the development cost and improve the competitiveness of enterprises under the situation that market response is the first in the current industrial strategy.
