Rapid manufacturing
Rapid Manufacturing (also in German Fast production ) referred methods and production processes for fast and flexible production of components and series via tool-free production directly from CAD data. The materials used are glass , metal , ceramics , plastics and new materials (such as UV curing sol-gel, see for example Multi Jet Modeling ).
Rapid manufacturing is used in the parallel production of microcomponents and systems for larger components. The possibility of analyzing and optimizing the product in the virtual stage ( 3D data , CIM ) using a simulation before production , as well as the wide selection of materials and the effective use of materials to avoid waste, give companies a wide range of options that products do not can only be designed and developed very quickly in accordance with individual customer requirements , but can also be produced cost-effectively with the help of additive manufacturing processes . New fields have emerged in the field of biotechnology (such as lab on a chip ), dental medicine and hearing aid technology . Since rapid manufacturing always focuses on the direct manufacture of the end product, it is fundamentally different from rapid prototyping and rapid tooling .
