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.Keywords: Rapid product development; rapid prototyping; integrated system.1. IntroductionDue to the pressure of international competition and market globalization in the 21st century, there continues to be strong driving forces in industry to compete effectively by reducing manufacturing times and costs while assuring high quality products and services. Current industries are facing the new challenges: quick response to business opportunity has been considered as one of the most 32024 年 6 月 23 日下载后可任意编辑important factors to ensure company competitiveness; manufacturing industry is evolving toward digitalization, network and globalization. Therefore, new products must be more quickly and cheaply developed, manufactured and introduced to the market. In order to meet the demand of rapid product de...
