In order to reduce lead-time and cost, recently the technology of Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (PR/M) has been used widely. So various RP/M methods have been developed and these systems commercialized several years ago. But we have carried out rapid product, such as sphere, by the milling process instead of RP system. in the case of sphere with three-dimensional shape. the machining method using conventional milling machine has resulted in some troubles because of its deformation and lack of stiffness which is due to usual work piece set up method. In this paper, the feasibility of milling process which is divided into two steps such as the-upper-and-1ower-face milling process using supporting material were investigated and suggested.

In order to reduce lean-time and cost, recently the technology of Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing(PR/M) has been used widely. So various RP/M methods have been developed and these systems commercialized several years ago. The machining process is one of these methods. It also offers advantages such as precision and versatility. But there are some considerations during machining. The most important problem among them is the fixturing. So we have to overcome the limitation because the fixturing time is depend on the complexity of geometry to be machined. In this paper, we have developed the fixturing technique using filling process that can be widely useful for rapid products within a short time. So we have carried out some kinds of rapid products such as plastic knob and metal fan using our fixturing process. In fixturing step, the filling material might chosen a resin or a alloy according to wether the work material is plastic or metal respectively. Also we developed the set-up equipment attachable on the table of the milling machine that provided practicable quality during a series of machining operations, named by two step milling process.

Fused deposition modelling(FDM) is a rapid prototyping(RP) process that fabricates part layer by layer by deposition of molte thermoplastic material extrude from a nozzle. RP system has benefits. Benefit would be the ability to experiment with physical objects of any complexity m a relatively short period of time. But it has a matter of surface roughness and geometric accuracy. We study on Influence of tangent line angle on surface roughness at fused deposition.

The RP&M(Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing) is the most appropriate technology for the small-lot production system, in which the production cycle is getting shorter owing to various needs from consumers. Recently RP products which are made of plastics, wax, and paper are used to verify the design of samples. But these products cannot be applied to the real mold because the strength enough to be a mold cannot be given by soft materials such as plastics. So RP products are copied to AFR(Al powder Filled Resin) molds or metal molds, which is called the RP&M. In this paper, RP&M is applied to a casting process. A porous casting mold, which is made from ceramic powder and binder, is used for rapid tooling of aluminum shoes molds.

This study is the selection of optimum forming condition for RP system using ADS. Program using ADS reduces the required time for feedback between design and manufacturing of workpiece. When we produce rapid prototype using RP system, we investigate the relationship between Facetres in system variable number of AutoCAD and roundness of rapid prototype, and we will find optimum forming condition in RP system.

The RP&M (Rapid prototyping and Manufacturing) is the most appropriate technology for the small-lot production system, in which the production cycle is getting shorter owing to various needs from consumers. In this paper, RP&M is applied to a casting process. A casting process has a merit of being able to reflect complicated shapes at one time. But it has not been applied to the precision industry because of bad quality on surface. So we will improve characteristics of aluminum casting process using vacuum sealed casting process and porous ceramic mold which is made by slurry casting process.

The objective of this research works is to propose a rapid development methodology of small size deep drawing tools for electronic parts utilizing the technology combination of CAE and RP/RT. The technology is applied to the development of deep drawing tools with a drain shape. The final surface of tools is obtained from the evaluation of the formability using the CAE. In order to manufacture the physical prototype of tools fer try-out terming, several fabrication experiments are carried out for three types of rapid tool manufacturing technology. Through the fabrication experiments, the acceptable rapid manufacturing technologies of deep drawing tools with a small size have been proposed.

The principle of the FDM(fused deposition modeling) process is based on the layer by layer manufacturing technology, like other RP(rapid prototyping) process. In the FDM process, each layer may have different shape. Therefore, the built model may have stairs shape on its surface. This stairs shape is one of the serious problems in the FDM process. Thus in this study, cube models and spherical models were fabricated by FDM process to investigate the influence of injection amount on surface roughness. Models with various road width were also built to investigate the influence of road width on surface roughness. Surface roughness of the models was measured and analyzed. The result obtained in this study are expected to help selecting the part build orientation for optimum surface roughness.
