Functional Prototype Development

Rapid prototyping is one of the most important technology for 21th century industry. To overcome the limitation of the material and function, Functional Prototype Development(FPD) concept is newly proposed. Wide function is necessary such as mechanical, optical, chemical and electrical property in order to solve broad requirements of the industry. The process of FPD has more than two conventional processes based on fusion technology and the FPD system is integrated with the interdisciplinary, interfacing and intelligent concepts. This paper shows some representative achievements such as optic coloring prototypes, electric multi layer printed circuit broad(MLB) and MEMS using electrostrictive polymer. Finally, we confirmed that FPD has a great possibility which can be applied in broad industry and will be a powerful tool in near future.
