Abstract:
Rapid Prototyping is being accepted globally by industries for its potential in saving on process time and cost. Rapid Tooling helps Rapid Prototyping grow beyond its conventional Feel & Fit status to Feel Fit Function status and is increasingly becoming popular. However, potential of rapid prototyping for normal production run is still not being realized. In that situation Rapid Tooling becomes a viable alternative. The greatest opportunity for rapid tooling implementation is the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. Further, polymer based direct rapid tooling provide large cost reduction and can also be readily accessible by industries. With the advances in materials along with the new access and low cost plastic based- AM equipment, direct use Polymer Rapid Tools (PRTs) would be a far more advantageous option in creating injection molds for low and highly flexible production. However, the use of polymer based direct rapid tooling by industries is curtailed due to the issues with the dimensional stability of the polymer based rapid tooling molds. Apart from dimensional tolerances, there are also issues with the life of these polymer based mold as they wear fast and are also not able to sustain high injection pressures in an Injection molding machine. Another, major problem with the polymer based rapid tooling is the poor thermal conductivity of polymeric materials due to which there is an increase in the cooling time and ultimately leading to decrease in productivity. Therefore, before proposing polymer based rapid tooling as a solution to industries to cut down the product development time and bring down the costs, a thorough study of the issues related to the same is imperative. This paper investigates the dimensional accuracy of striker component produced by ABS mold inserts. For dimensional accuracy a reverse engineering technique3D scanning is used which is compared with CAD file and inspected with COMET plus software. Further, the outputs are validated with vernier caliper. The mold insert is manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology which is used on injection molding machine

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel integrated system of rapid product development for reducing the time and cost of product development. The system is composed of four building blocks — digital prototype, virtual prototype, physical prototype and rapid tooling manufacturing system. It can aid effectively in product design, analysis, prototype, mould, and manufacturing process development by integrating closely the various advanced manufacturing technologies which involve the 3D CAD, CAE, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and rapid tooling. Furthermore, two actual examples are provided to illustrate the application of this integrated system. The results indicate that the system has a high potential to reduce further the cycle and cost of product development.

Abstract:
The dynamic development of highly accurate optical measuring machines within the last years pushed the introduction of digitizing techniques to many applications in the fields of quality control, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. By projecting fringe patterns onto the object's surface and recording pictures of the curvature dependant deformation of the pattern, 3D coordinates for each camera pixel are calculated on the basis of the principle of triangulation. The generation of a polygon mesh can be used for the analysis of the deviation of a die or a formed part to the initial CAD data, i.e. by means of full field or section based comparison. This paper presents the application of the above mentioned techniques on a double sheet hydroforming process. The gathered 3D data of the clam-shell part as well as of the tooling dies served for the calculation of the deviation to the respective reference geometry. With respect to the utilization of digitized tooling data within the finite element analysis, further investigations were performed on the impact of data reduction strategies. Aiming on the minimization of the necessary number of elements, representing the tooling surface in a discrete state, and on the request for a sufficient degree of accuracy, these strategies have to be considered of high priority.

Abstract:
The full scale 3D Anthropometric Digital Model system is a technique combining digital imaging, three-dimensional (3D) image processing and reverse engineering to produce a full-scale solid Anthropometric Digital Model. This paper describes the Anthropometric Digital Model being made and used in radiation treatment. By using computed tomography and optical scanning, the data required for the Anthropometric Digital Model is collected. Through surface reconstruction, a model of the patient skull is made, after which rapid prototyping and rapid tooling is applied to acquire a 1:1 solid model. Thus, without the patient needing to be present, the medical physicist or dosimetrist will be able to design a treatment plan tailored to the patient and to simulate all kinds of situations on the simulator and the linear accelerator for positioning and verification. We expect that the application of Anthropometric Digital Model can reduce the time spent on pretreatment procedures in radiotherapy and enhance the quality of health care for cancer patients.

Abstract:
Owing to stiff competition globally, the business operation of traditional industries, like the mould and die industry in Taiwan, urgently needs to be modernized. A wide spectrum of IT-tools and a variety of different computer-aided systems are currently available to provide best-in-class solutions for executing manufacturing and marketing tasks. Our aim in this project is to integrate the technologies of reverse engineering (RE), rapid prototyping (RP), rapid tooling (RT) and virtual reality (VR) for mould and die industries to effectively improve the performance of creative design, rapid manufacturing, training and marketing. The integration of RE/RP/RT technologies is known as 3R technology. From the reports, 3R technologies are capable of improving conceptual design quickly and effectively. With the improvement of computer and Internet technologies, the interaction of webbed VR has recently become an important business means to promote creative training and marketing. We call the integration of 3R and VR techniques 4R technology. This present methodology can help enterprises improve their capability for global competition.

Abstract:
Mold design can be a difficult, time-consuming process. Determining how to split a mold cavity into multiple mold pieces (e.g., core, cavity) manually can be a tedious process. This paper focuses on the mold construction step of the automated mold design process. By investigating glue operations and its relations with parting faces, an approach based on a new reverse glue operation is presented. The key to the reverse glue operation is to generate parting faces. A problem definition of parting face generation for a region is provided. Correspondingly, three face generating criteria are identified. Based on the parting lines of a region, our algorithms to generate the parting faces are presented. Our mold construction algorithms for two-piece molds and multi-piece molds are also presented with brief discussions. Some industrial examples are provided which illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach. We tested our mold designs by fabricating stereolithography mold inserts (a rapid tooling method) and molding parts.

Abstract:
This paper is written based on some industrial practices. It presents some aspects about rapid prototyping which stays at the base of manufacturing design using CAD/CAE programs and its integration in industrial field. A big economical advantage is that products made by rapid prototyping express a low risk failure and the manufacturing process takes less time and lower costs than the conventional techniques. A new product design was produced by rapid prototyping techniques starting from a broken one. First, the mechanical characteristics of broken product were investigated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). It provides a way of simulating the product design under working condition and an opportunity to understand failure modes. Therefore, problems in tooling would be minimized. After FEA simulation, a new material was chosen in order to increase the mechanical characteristics. The new product material improves all the mechanical characteristics. At the end of this paper, the case study is presented. Before that, new framework is proposed.

Abstract:
This paper will describe our initial operational experience using a reconfigurable-tooling-based stretch-forming work cell for production of sheet metal parts. This facility was created in response to the need to rapidly reverse engineer and manufacture sheet metal components in an overhaul and repair environment. The system is expected to dramatically reduce part lead time and cost, and reduce the need for fixed dies. This is an integrated hardware/software system comprised of a reconfigurable computer-controlled die with 1120 discrete elements, a laser moire´ interferometry shape measurement system, an automated finite element forming process simulation system, and an overall Manufacturing Design Software System/Shape Control Loop. These capabilities are integrated with a modern stretch-forming press. This system is particularly useful where part data may not exist other than the physical part to be duplicated, and where short lead times and low production quantities are prevalent. The typically iterative tasks of designing and methodizing the manufacturing process are significantly reduced by the software system which allows for rapid capture of part geometric data, its subsequent use in simulating the forming process, and for setting the surface shape on the reconfigurable tool. Results will be shown indicating that part shape fidelity can be maintained within required tolerance, and often improved upon, while providing reduced lead time and cost.

Full text
Abstract:
A bunched electrode for Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is formed by bunching numerous cell electrodes as a whole and allows better flushing to facilitate removal of more heat and debris produced during machining. This paper proposes a rapid tooling method for preparing bunched electrodes with desired end-face. A specially designed apparatus, which sits on an XY worktable of a CNC machine tool, is employed to hold the pre-bunched with flat end-face. By using a protrusion pin which is fixed on Z-axis, the heights of each cell electrode are protruded one after another according to a CNC program, which is generated by CAD/CAM software. The end-face of the bunched electrode approximates the ideal end-face of the designed 3D model by adjusting the Z positions of each cell electrode. By using this method the cost and time for electrode preparation are dramatically reduced as compared to that made by traditional cutting method. An investigation on 3D cavity machining of bunched electrode was conducted. The result gives a solid verification of the feasibility of using bunched electrode into roughing process of EDM.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The research presented in this paper is an effort toward developing a technique to produce injection mold inserts to handle small batch production of around a few thousand parts. Common infiltration methods used in rapid tooling have certain limitations viz., cracks, distortion and shrinkage caused by high temperature infiltration. Poor surface quality is also a limitation of conventional infiltration techniques. The high temperatures involved in conventional infiltration techniques make the process more expensive, complex and difficult to control. To overcome these difficulties, as well as to generate tooling for a small batch production, a low temperature polymer infiltration method is proposed in conjunction with existing rapid tooling techniques. Based on the curing principles of polymer materials, several infiltration materials were selected and their mechanical and chemical characteristics were investigated. To determine the necessary amount of polymer materials in the sintered mold an infiltration model is derived and results compared with experimental data. Testing results have shown significant improvements in the thermal resistance and mechanical properties of the rapid tool as a result of the resin infiltration.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent developments in Computer Aided Design (CAD) have drastically reduced overall design cycle time and cost. In this paper, wirePATH, a new method for rapid direct tooling, is presented. By using specialized interactive segmentation computer software and wire electrical discharge machining (wire EDM), wirePATH can reduce manufacturing time and cost for injection molds, casting patterns, and dies. Compared to other conventional-mold making methods, wirePATH can reduce fabrication time by as much as 40 to 70%. Wirepath can use a combination of wire EDM and other processes. Our method provides a new means to produce a greater variety in products by changing only portions of the tooling. Segments allow a part of a mold to be replaced to accommodate design changes and repair. WirePATH enables new applications of wire EDM to more complex shapes by bridging the gaps between CAD, our method, wire EDM and conventional manufacturing processes.

Abstract:
Abstract Although the initial and primary use of layered manufacturing is rapid prototyping, demands of applying it to rapid tooling is growing dramatically in recent years, and using it to rapid tooling is making more and more sense in terms of saving more time and more money. There are different ways of applying layered manufacturing technology to rapid tooling, such as direct and indirect tooling, hard and soft tooling, using machines from different vendors, and applying to sand casting, investment casting, die casting, injection molding, etc. Furthermore, what accuracy and surface roughness can be provided to production tooling is another major consideration in rapid tooling. As a result, there are many challenges and research opportunities, in addition to many successful cases. Consequently, what layered manufacturing can and cannot do for rapid production tooling will be the focus of this paper.

Abstract:
The design is an important step in the development of a product or component; many important decisions affecting the final cost and manufacturability of the product are made at this stage. Therefore several design guidelines for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA), ergonomics, maintenance, standardization, against corrosion, risk minimization, recycling, among others, have been proposed in the literature. The aim of these design guidelines is to provide designers with guidance to reduce costs, manufacturing difficulties, and increase the lifetime of a product. The use of new manufacturing techniques such as rapid prototyping, manufacturing and tooling (RPM&T) are increasing in the industry to speed up the design and development of products. However, there are not design guidelines for these emerging technologies. This paper focuses on establishing design for rapid prototyping, manufacturing and rapid tooling (DFRPM&T) guidelines. These guidelines are based on reviews and analysis of the operating principle, materials, capabilities and limitations of current commercially available RPM&T technologies. The proposed design guidelines are classified into three types: (1) design for rapid prototyping according to the geometric characteristics of the part, (2) part quality requirements, and (3) part costs and sustainability. Important features such as support structures, overhangs, rounded, knife edges, part orientation, path planning, distortion, shrinkage, warping, accuracy, stability, part post-processing, part cost and environmental resistance are considered in the proposed design for RPM&T guidelines.

Abstract:
The brake ring, an essential buffer and energy dissipator within flexible protection systems for mitigating dynamic impacts from rockfall collapses, presents notable design challenges due to its significant deformation and strain characteristics. This study introduces a highly efficient and precise neural network model tailored for the design of brake rings, utilizing BP neural networks in conjunction with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. The paper studies the key geometric parameters, including ring diameter, tube diameter, wall thickness, and aluminum sleeve length, with performance objectives centered on starting load, maximum load, and energy dissipation. A comprehensive dataset comprising 576 samples was generated through the integration of full-scale tests and simulations, which facilitated the training of the neural network for accurate forward predictions linking physical parameters to performance outcomes. Furthermore, a PSO-based reverse design model was developed to enable effective back-calculation from desired performance outcomes to specific geometric configurations. The BP neural network exhibited high accuracy, evidenced by a fit of 0.991, and the mechanical performance of the designed products aligned with target values in over 90% of cases, with all engineering errors remaining within acceptable limits. The proposed method significantly reduces the design time to under 5 seconds, thereby vastly improving efficiency in comparison to traditional approaches. This advancement offers a rapid and reliable reference for the design of critical components in flexible protection systems.
