Rapid prototyping technology is a key common technology that serves the development of new products for manufacturing enterprises. It plays a positive role in promoting product innovation, shortening the development cycle of new products, and improving product competitiveness. Rapid prototyping technology integrates mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse engineering, layered manufacturing, numerical control, materials science, and laser technology. It can automatically, directly, quickly, and accurately transform design ideas into prototypes or directly manufacture parts with certain functions. This technology makes up for the shortcomings of traditional manufacturing methods and provides an efficient and low-cost means for prototyping parts and verifying new design ideas. Rapid prototyping equipment can directly, quickly, and accurately transform design concepts or plans into actual part prototypes or directly manufacture parts through processes such as model building, approximation processing, and slicing.
