Mechanical forming of metals: Study of rapid prototyping processes

Abstract

The introduction of the presentation will give a brief overview of the trend that the information in it will follow after which it will begin with the reasons why RP is used. It will then move onto a mention of the classifications of RP followed by a section on stereo lithography, inject based processes and fused deposition modeling. The topics following these are powder based processes under which will be selective laser sintering, 3D inject molding and the electron beam. The next topic will be the implementation followed by an explanation for the same with a concluding mention of its applications in the fields of medicine, architecture and the automobile industry.
