Every You Need To Know About CNC Rapid
Prototyping

With todays advancements in technology, CNC
rapid prototyping can be done faster than ever.
CNC machines can create three dimensional
prototypes within days compared to the former
technology of the past. With the software
programs that run these machines, any design or
specifications from one of your drawings can be
created to the specifications that are required.

CNC Rapid Prototype Tooling solutions include
stereo lithography (SLA), selective laser
sintering (SLS), RTV tooling, hybrid tooling,
injection molding, and direct metal laser
sintering (DMLS). Between these options,
basically any part, mold, etc can be developed.
Top quality engineers can help to make a dream a
reality with the CNC rapid prototyping process.

However, the need for speed can become a loss in
other categories. The need to develop parts in a
short period of time comes as a trade off.
Producing with speed causes less layers of resin
on certain parts therefore, the detail of these
parts will be less. The trade off for speed is in
the detailing. You just have to decide which one
you would rather prefer.

Through the sintering process, parts can be
created that are able to be directly used as they
come out of the machine. No longer will customers
have to build the parts, now all they have to do
is to build assemblies. This can save a lot of
time and money for many companies who utilize
this type of technology.

Stereo lithography uses a laser (UV) to cure
resins. The laser builds the product by layers
and Rapid Prototype Tooling helps in ensuring the
credibility. The end product is usually yellow to
white in color and can finished with a variety of
different finishes.
7
Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) also uses a
layering process to build the final product.
Metallic powder is used in this process which is
then spread over a plate and sintered by a laser
beam to the specifications that the software file
specifies.

As you can see, CNC Rapid Prototype Tooling
really incorporates some high technology and this
type of technology can be beneficial to many
different industries in todays society. Not just
anyone can operate these machines. It takes high
skilled and well trained individuals, usually
with an engineering background to produce these
products through the use of these machines.
9
Computer numerical controlled technology and
robotic technology combined with high tech
software programs can pretty much create anything
that anyone can dream of. If you have any
questions about CNC rapid prototyping, ask any
dealer who deals in these types of machines. They
will be able to answer any questions that you may
have.
