摘要:
Rapid Prototyping (RP) is useful in the fast production of physical prototypes and therefore constitutes a key element in the optimization and abbreviation of product development processes. To increase the accuracy and decrease the fabrication time of prototypes, an RP-Toolkit was developed supporting the overall CAPP process. The RP-Toolkit provides functional modules for repair of surfaces, technological planning of various RP processes as well as mechanisms for realization of STEP-based process chains. An essential aspect is the user-driven definition and adaptation of technological parameters to meet prototype requirements. Improvements in prototype quality are gained by use of process-specific production strategies. The build time of prototypes can be reduced using functions for adaptive slicing of precise BREP models.
