Key Techniques of Direct Driving of Rapid Prototyping Machine within CAD System

Article Preview

Abstract:

To avoid the precision decrease of the machining data transferred from CAD to rapid prototyping (RP) system, key techniques of driving RP machine within CAD system were researched. The method of achieving the layers contour scanning data within CAD system was researched; then, the direct driving mode of RP machine was established; finally, tests were conducted on a polystyrene foam cutter machine with example of layer generation. Tests show that the approximate processing to CAD model can be avoided between CAD and RP, and RP machine can be driven and controlled within CAD system.
