Study on multifunctional rapid prototyping manufacturing system

摘要

Multi-functional rapid prototyping manufacturing system (M-RPMS) is an important potentialdeveloping field and tendency of RP technique. Application area of the M-RPMS has been discussedin this paper. It is believed that the M-RPMS has to be developed both for industrial and academicpurposes. The openness of software and hardware, the diversity of RP processes and the highestfunction/cost ratio are the outstanding speciality of the MRPMS. This paper also introduces the designprinciple of the M-RPMS, the calculation method for function integration degree (FID), the runningof SLS in the M-RPMS and the key of early stage rapid feedback design system.
