1.Can produce arbitrarily complex three-dimensional geometric entities. Due to the discrete/
forming principle, it can simply a very complicated three-dimensional manufacturing process to
a two dimensional process superposition, which can realize the processing of any complex
shape parts.The more complex parts ,the more can show the superiority of RP technology. In
addition, the RP technology is especially suitable for complicated cavity and complicated
surface which the traditional methods hard or cannot to produce.
2.The rapidity. With the modification or restructuring of the CAD model can get a new part design
and processing information. From a few hours to a dozens of hours can produce parts, with the
prominent characteristics of rapid manufacturing.
3.Highly flexible. Without any special jig or tool can complete the complex manufacturing process,
rapid manufacturing engineering model, prototypes or parts.
4.Rapid prototyping technology realized the two goals that mechanical engineering subject pursuit
for many years , namely the material extraction (gas, liquid and solid phase) process and
manufacturing process integration and design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) integration.
5.Combine the reverse engineering , CAD technology, network technology and virtual reality, as a
powerful tool for rapid product development.
