stereolithography for rapid tooling for injection molding: the effect of cooling channel geometry

摘要

The use of rapid prototyping (RP) techniques for the production of prototype parts has greatly reduced the number of steps and the complexity of the prototyping process process. RP processes, such as Stereolithography (SL), have emerged as a viable option for the prototyping of plastic parts and has recently entered into the arena of Raphid Tooling (RT). Rapid prototyping techinques are clearly valuable design tools that can be used to generate a physical prototype from a solid CAD model
