Prototyping as a Tool for Rapid Development of Components for Sporting Equipment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the potential of hydroforming process combined with the Engineering Design Science (EDS) in single piece production of a technical product. The chosen demonstration product for this integrated approach is a ski riser for extreme carving. Its load-bearing base is an intricate-shape part that is well suited for modified hydroforming process in an isostatic press. In order to reduce production costs, rapid prototyping and rapid tooling methods were used.
