The essence of the rapid prototyping technology is make three-dimensional entity by integration
method .It is slice the complex three-dimensional entity into a series of layer with setted thickness.
Thus become a simple 2D graphics, layer upon layer overlay.
The process as follows:
Design 3D CAD model
Use 3D software (such as CADDS5,PRO-ENGINEER,UG,SOLIDWORKS) design the CAD model
on the PC or graphic workstation .
Use CAD model to make treatment,and adopt the STL(Stero lithography) format developed by
American 3D system company for data conversion.Use a series of small triangular connected
approach to the 3D entity surface to get the STL format model files.
