Modeling and Rapid Prototyping for Toy Aircraft Based on Pro/Engineering

Abstract:

Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology makes it possible for manufactories or Institutes conceiving the product directly from its CAD models without any tooling or human interference. This study explored the modeling process of toy aircraft based on Pro/Engineering through a component drawing, introduced the basic setups of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process by using a rapid prototyping machine. Summarized the advantages and shortages of FDM,point out that the method using CAD&RP technology may be useful in designing a new product , it promising development in making of complex component or mould, and the need of colorful materials used in RP.
