  • Measuring Surface Roughness and Texture
    -. Every application reacts differently to different combinations of eters should be specified, such as Rp (Maximum Peak Height),. roughness and waviness, and industry has responded by creating Rv (Maximum Valley Depth) and Ry (Maximum Peak-to-Valley. more than 100 different formulae with which
  • Selecting a Rapid-Service Bureau
    Think of RP as the right process + the right material = the right part. Do your homework and find a firm you can depend on to help slash prototyping time and costs There's nothing like the rush of a new design idea. Maybe it hit you in the shower or just clicked when you opened that can of tomato
  • The next step in rapid prototyping
    . There is more to these simple assemblies than meets the eye. Fast and cheap. Several recent build improvements deserve mention. “Revisions to the software that builds RP parts improve the surface resolution so finishes are more acceptable right off the machine,” says Jerry Plath, an engineer
  • Best practices for Using Rapid Prototypes
    Model early, model often, and pass the prototype around. Building the entire assembly, a recommended best practice for using rapidprototype parts, can be done by at least two RP-equipment methods. The colorful turbine was printed on a 3D printer from Z-Corp. Model-maker Michael Plesh made the 3-ft
  • Fused Depostion Modeling: A Technology Evaluation
    Selecting the best rapid prototyping (RP) process can be challenging. Without hands-on experience, uncovering both the strengths and weaknesses of a technology can be difficult. Yet, this knowledge is critical in selecting the right tool for the intended application. A previous article by the same
  • Advancing the art of moldmaking
    surface can be adjusted and cut again for new parts. MOLDS LAYER BY LAYER. Engineers at Fast4m, Troy, Mich., borrowed an idea from rapid prototyping to make laminate molds. RP equipment builds parts from many thin layers of plastic. So why not build injection molds layer by layer out of sheet stock
  • A better way to Cost-Out Designs
    . Quickparts.com generates binding quotes, not just estimates, for rapid-prototype parts. Users can upload STL files to the site and identify a material and quantity after registering. Available RP methods include SLA, SLS, FDM, and wax patterns. The online service returns firm quotes, often within seconds
  • Three Dimensional Printing (3DP)
    offers speedy fabrication and low material cost. In fact, 3DP is probably the fastest of all RP methods. Recently, color outputs have become available; however, there are limitations in terms of resolution, surface finish, part fragility and available materials. The closest competitor to 3DP is probably
