Development of Modeling Process in Rapid Freeze Prototyping

Abstract:

Through rapid prototyping [1,2] it can be achieved both conceptual models: the final prototypes and functional parts in less time than with conventional technologies. The author of this paper shows the dependence of the diameter of liquid nitrogen spray nozzles according to the diameters of the water spray nozzle, a factor that is important in determining the amount of liquid nitrogen required to freeze the drop of water. Regarding the deposited layer thickness estimation, the author presented two theoretical models of contact between water droplets, which depend on the step between two consecutive drops of water.
