Analysis of the Quality of Rapid Manufacturing Technology Based on the Silicone Rubber Mold

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rapid manufacturing processes include making prototype mold, making silicone rubber mold and pouring parts. According to the study of rapid manufacturing based on silicone rubber mold, factors that impact the characteristics of products, the quality of surface and the accuracy of dimension are discovered. The curing temperature and time affect the properties of products. The smoothness of prototype surface, gate position, exhaust port position, channel distribution and pouring speed affect the quality of the products surface. The shrinkage of the material affects the accuracy of products dimension. Moreover, some measures and methods that improve the products quality also be illustrated.
