The main technology for rapid prototyping
SLA, SLS, FDM are the main technology for prototype manufacturer, and the common features of them are discreting the part into separate layers and make the layers independently.
The most tempting feature of rapid prototyping products is that they are almost unlimited in terms of geometry. With this process, articles with great independence and freedom of geometry can be produced, such as inverted concave, overhanging, free form, and various basic geometric shapes. For example, the SLS process requires no brackets, and the parts can be placed in any position in the machining position without the need for a clamp, which means that the SLS can provide nearly infinite geometric possibilities to the workpiece.
On the other hand, various products from micro to large sizes can be manufactured with rapid prototyping technology. The size of the product depends on the choice of process: SLS, SLA and FDM are usually used for the manufacture of medium-sized parts, because of the process execution and economic cost, as well as the performance of large-sized parts. The size of these processes is very limited when it comes to large products.
It is worth noted that all of the above questions about free design require further development of professional CAD software for RP technology. The combination of improvements in design tools and changes in designer design concepts can tap the potential of RP technology.
In addition to directly designing the model of the required product, engineers often design according to the existing physical design, which is called reverse engineering. Rapid detection and 3D CAD reconstruction techniques provide a way to obtain CAD models directly from physical objects.
