1. UVOD
Aluminijumske kovane legure koje sadre
magnezijum, silicijum i gvoe su pogodne za
ekstruziju. Dodavanjem razliitih elemenata,
mogue je popraviti tehnika, mehanika i
fizika svojstva legura. Aluminijumske legure sa
magnezijumom i silicijumom su nataloene
ovrsle legure koje poboljavaju mehanika
svojstva. Mogunost ovravanja taloga je
vea kada je koliina magnezijuma iznad
stehiometrijskog nivoa u Mg2Si fazi [1]. Ova faza
taloi se iz prezasienog vrstog rastvora do
konano disperznih estica tokom termike
obrade. Ove konano disperzne estice
obezbeuju dobra mehanika svojstva ovim
legurama[1,2]. Dodavanje eleza u Al-Mg
legurama nepovoljno utie na krupnou i
smanjuje zateznu vrstou i izduenje zbog
igliaste strukture AlxFeySiz faze. Kako bi se ovo
spreilo dodaje se mangan koji transformie
igliastu strukturu AlxFeySiz faze u kockastiju
fazu Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz [1,2]. Mangan takoe
poboljava otpornost na koroziju.

ABSTRACT
Paper describes effect of homogenization on
the quantity of microstructural constituents of the
Al-Mg-Si-Fe wrought alloy. Three samples were
homogenized at 560C for 4, 6 and 8 hours and
one was in the as cast state. With help of
metallographic analysis, by optical microscope
and a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we
analyzed the micro structural constituents and
the change of their quantity in accordance with
the time of homogenization. Quantities of lead
and bismuth inclusions and mean intercept
distance or the grain size of all samples were
determined as well.
Key
words:

1. INTRODUCTION
Aluminium
wrought
alloys
containing
magnesium, silicon and iron are appropriate for
extrusion. By adding different alloying elements,
it is possible to improve the technical,
mechanical and physical properties of the alloys.
Aluminium alloys with magnesium and silicon
are precipitation hardening alloys which improve
mechanical
properties.
The
ability
of
precipitation hardening is better when the
quantity of magnesium is above the
stoichiometric level in the Mg2Si phase [1]. This
phase is precipitating from supersaturated solid
solution to finely dispersed particles during heat
treatment. This finely dispersed particles give
good mechanical properties to these alloy [1,2].
The addition of iron to the Al-Mg alloys inhibits
coarsening, but it also decreases the tensile
strength and ductility due to the needle structure
of the AlxFeySiz phase. To prevent this,
manganese is added which transforms the
needle structure of the AlxFeySiz phase to more
cubic phase of Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz [1,2]. Manganese
also improves corrosion resistance.
The solidification of such alloys begins with
the reaction L Al which continues with the
eutectic crystalization L Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz
Error!Bookmarknotdefined.. The stoichiometry
of the Alx(Fe, Mn)ySiz phase changes with
solidification and cooling. The solidification is
finished with another eutectic reaction L Al +
Mg2Si. The reaction is followed by the
precipitation of the Mg2Si phase.

We studied the Al-Mg-Si-Fe alloy by carrying

out the thermal analysis, simultaneous thermal
analysis (STA), metallographic analysis and the
thermodynamic calculation of the phase
equilibrium. Table 1 shows the chemical
composition of the studied alloy.
The thermodynamic calculation of the phase
equilibrium was calculated with the computer
program Thermo-Calc for the chemical
composition of the studied alloy. The results
have shown the temperatures at which the
solidification begins and ends and temperature
fields where equilibrium phases exist.
A simple thermal analysis was carried out by
pouring a molten alloy into a measuring cell
made in accordance with the Croning process.
During solidification, we measured the
temperature and plotted the cooling curve.
A simultaneous thermal analysis was made on
Jupiter 449 device from NETZSCH. The results
from the STA showed the liquidus and solidus
temperatures and the temperatures of
precipitation. A sample for STA was cut out from
casting from the simple thermal analysis.
Samples for homogenization and for
metallography were cut out from cast poles 350
mm from the head of casting. Three samples
were homogenized at temperature 560C for 4.6
and 8 hours and one was in the cast state. After
homogenization, the samples were air-cooled.
Samples
were
then
prepared
for
metallographic analysis with optical and
scanning
electron
microscopy
(SEM).
Microstructures were analyzed with the
computer program for picture analysis analySIS
5.0. The portions of eutectic phases
Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz and Mg2Si were determined and
the particles of lead and bismuth and grain size
were determined as well. The eutectic phase
Mg2Si and the particles of lead and bismuth are
of the same color in optical micrographs so we
inspected samples with the SEM where these
microstructural constituents were of different
colors. We determined the portion of lead and
bismuth on the SEM and then deducted it from
the sum of all three constituents from optical
micrographs and got the portion of Mg2Si in
microstructure. We also determined the shares
of eutectic phases in the eutectics Al + Alx(Fe,
Mn)ySiz and Al + Mg2Si.
For the determination of grain size, we
anodized the samples for 1 minute in the 2 %
aqueous solution of HBF4 at 23 V. Grain size or
mean intercept distance was determined by the
standard ASTM E 112 96.

(95.18 mas %), AlFeSi- faze (0.87 mas %),
Mg2Si faze (1.73 mas %), Al6Mn faze (1.2 mas
%), Al2Cu- faze (0.57 mas %), neznatna

Isopleth phase diagram was calculated with

the program for calculating the phase
equilibrium (figure 1). Solidification begins with
the primary crystallization of Al at 648C.
Simultaneously at 634C, a phase of Al13Fe4 is
crystallizing. This phase exists in the
temperature interval up to 607C. Further on the
solidification of the AlFeSi- phase starts at
608C and exists up to 589C. At 591C,
crystallization of the AlFeSi- phase starts and
at 589C the solidification of an alloy ends.
During cooling, the precipitation of AlMnSi-
occurs at 578 C, at 564 C Mg2Si is
precipitating, at 466C Al13Cr2, at 408C Al6Mn
and the last one at 269C AL2Cu- phase.
Based on the calculation, crystals of Al (95.18
mass. %), AlFeSi- phase (0.87 mass.%), Mg2Si
phase (1.73 mass.%), Al6Mn phase (1.2
mass.%), Al2Cu- phase (0.57 mass.%), some
silicon and Al11Cr phase (0.45 mass.%) can be
seen in the microstructure at room temperature.
Slika 2 daje ematski prikaz krive hlaenja

kod jednostavne termike analize gde se moe
uoiti temperatura primarne kristalizacije Al na
634C. Pothlaenje je zanemarljivo. Na
temperaturama izmeu 610.5 i 590C, dolazi do
ravnotene
eutektike
kristalizacije
(L Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz). Ovravanje se
zavrava drugom eutektikom kristalizacijom
(L Al + Mg2Si) na temperaturama izmeu
553 i 541C.
STA analiza pokazuje likvidus i solidus
temperature, temperature eutektike reakcije i
taloenja. Na slici 3 je prikazana DSC kriva
topljenja, sa koje se moe videti da do taloenja
dolazi na veoma niskim temperaturama, to je
posledica neujednaenog ovravanja. Solidus
temperatura je 571C. Sa DSC krive hlaenja
(slika 4) se moe videti da je likvidus
temperatura 643C. Temperatura topljenja Al +
Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz je na 598.3C (DSC kriva
topljenja), a poetak kristalizacije na 599.1C
(DSC kriva hlaenja). Temperatura topljenja Al
+ Mg2Si je na 571C (DSC kriva grejanja), a
poetak kristalizacije je na 546 C. Moe se
videti da je temperatura topljenja via od
temperature poetka ovravanja, a razlog za
to su neujednaeni uslovi topljenja i
ovravanja.
Figure 2 shows the plotted cooling curve of

the simple thermal analysis where the
temperature of the primary crystallization of Al
at 634C can be seen. Supercooling is
negligible. At the temperature from 610.5 to
590C, a non equilibrium eutectic crystallization
occurs
(L Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz). Solidification ends
with another eutectic crystallization (L Al +
Mg2Si) at the temperature from 553 to 541C.
The STA analysis shows the liquidus and
solidus temperatures and also the temperatures
of eutectic reactions and precipitating. Figure 3
shows the heating DSC curve where it is seen
that precipitation occurs at a very low
temperature, which is the consequence of nonequilibrium solidification. Solidus temperature is
at 571C. From the cooling DSC curve (figure 4)
it is seen that the liquidus temperature is at
643C. The melting temperature of the eutectic
Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz is at 598.3C (heating DSC
curve) and the beginning of crystallization is at
599.1C (cooling DSC curve). The melting
temperature of the eutectic Al + Mg2Si is at
571C (heating DSC curve) and beginning of
crystallization is at 546 C. One can see that
temperature of melting is higher than
temperature of beginning of solidification and
reason for this is non-equilibrium conditions of
melting and solidification.

ZAKLUAK
CONCLUSION
U ovom istraivanju o objanjena je promena

eutektikih faza tokom 8 sati homogenizacije na
560C. Ustanovljeno je da se tokom
homogenizacije,
deo
eutektike
faze
Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz iz Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz smanjuje.
U stanju odlivka postoji 2.149% ove faze, a
posle 8 sati homogenizacije, ta vrednost opada
na 0.769% usled rastvaranja u matricu. Udeo
Mg2Si iz Al + Mg2Si se ne menja znaajno i
posle 8 sati homogenizacije vrednost opada
samo sa 0.505 do 0.422%. Koliina Pb i Bi se ne
manje tokom homogenizacije, jer je sposobnost
rastvaranja ova dva elementa u Al matrici
veoma mala i rastvaranje nije mogue.
Homogenizacija nema uticaj na veliinu zrna Al.
Recimo, veliina zrna u uzorku odlivka je 91.7
m, a posle 8 sati homogenizacije 89.7 m.
In this research, we explained the changing

of eutectic phases during the 8 hours of
homogenization at 560C. We found out that
during homogenization the portion of the
eutectic phase Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz from the eutectic
Al + Alx(Fe,Mn)ySiz decreases. In the as-cast
state there is 2.149 % of this phase and after 8
hours of homogenization it drops down to 0.769
% due to dissolving into matrix. The portion of
Mg2Si from the eutectic Al + Mg2Si does not
change much and after 8 hours of
homogenization it only drops from 0.505 to
0.422 %. The quantity of Pb and Bi does not
change during homogenization because the
solubility of these two elements in the Al matrix
is very low and dissolving is not possible.
Homogenization has no effect on the grain size
of Al either. In the as-cast sample it is 91.7 m
and after 8 hours of homogenization it is 89.7
m.

Induction furnaces without magnetic core are

frequently referred to as pot induction furnaces.
These furnaces have wide range of application
in foundries of both, non-ferrous and ferrousbased metals. They are used as highly
productive melting units or induction pot
receptors
for
accumulation,
temperature
maintenance and preheating of the cast. They
use both, direct and indirect heating system. If
the batch has electrical conductivity features, it
is a direct induction heating, whilst for heating of
the batch without electrical conductivity features
is possible to use indirect system of heating
where induction is used for heating electrical
conductivity pot (black lead, metal), with the batch
receiving the heat from it through the system of
conductive transfer.

Vital part of induction furnace is an inductor,

which is winded around special hollow copper
profiles. The copper should be electrolytic and
softly plunged. Profile bore provides sufficient flow
of cooling water. The thickness of active crosssection of copper profile is defined by depth of
current penetration, and bore by required water flow,
like mentioned earlier. Basic types of profiles for
inductors are given in Figure 3.

most frequently installed as mono phase with
several parallel cooling water sections and
quality electrical and heating insulation based on
glass, daze and asbestos. Utilization of asbestos
is not recommended, and previously used

Fireproof pot is the second most important part of

the furnace design. It can be black lead with
induction indirect heating (the batch without
electrical conductivity features, or with heating
materials without adequate ceramic tampered
mass, like in some type of bronze). Far more
often is the case of the pots formed on spot, and
made of fireproof ceramic materials. Materials
for these purposes have to satisfy the following
features: mechanical integrity, high fireproof
index, good bonding of the mass, the least gas
permeability as possible, small heat dilatation,
sufficient
mechanical
solidity,
slag
aggressiveness resistance, electrical nonconductivity, erosion and ablution resistance, the
longest possible life span, the longest possible
stacking span, possibility of local modifications,
the shortest and the simplest possible tamping
regime. The following factors are important for
life span of tamping mass: proper mass
selection, adequate installment technology,
material purity, necessary work hygiene, work
with adequate tools and patterns, continuity in

Small induction pot furnaces, capacities of

Induction pot furnaces dont have magnet

core, therefore their design power factor is
rather poor, order 0,1, consequently resulting in
presence of significant reactive power to be
compensated. Power factor depends on quality of
electric-magnetic couple of inductor and batch,
which are influenced by their geometry, thickness
of pot wall, as well as type of heating material,
i.e. depth of current penetration into it. Optimal
furnace design is present when the batch is fit
into rectangular ABCD geometry (Fig. 4).
Evaluation of correlation of reactive and active

Power factor correction to value of the unit is
performed by compensational condenser
battery. As value of reactive power is alternating

Na slici 8 uporedjene su varijante elektrinog
prikljuka jedne kompletne indukcione lonane
pei od 1,5 tona aluminijuma i 50 Hz.
In addition to losses in the very furnace, there

are also losses in plant elements, like losses in
regulation transformer, losses in condensers, in
frequency transmitter, muffler, supply cables and
similar. In Figure 7 is given energetic balance of
medium-frequency induction pot furnaces.
Problem of electrical connection of pot
induction furnace onto the supply network is
very delicate. Furnace inductors are performed
mainly as mono phase solenoids. With medium
frequency and high frequency furnaces, supply
of mono phase inductors from three-phase
electrical network us performed without major
technical difficulties, whether it is machine,
thyristor or pipe frequency transmitter.
Symmetry adjustment of network frequency
mono phase induction loads onto three-phase
electrical supply network is performed mostly by
system of phase balancer. It is possible to
achieve a version with two-phase inductor and
Scotts coupling.
In Figure 8 is given comparison of versions of
electrical connection of one complete 1,5 ton

From given layout may be observed that major

production capacity of the furnace with least specific
energy consumption is with version of mono phase
inductor and its mono phase, i.e. inter-phase
connector (900 kg/h; 0,5KWh). However, this
version cannot be tolerated on the network with
higher powers; in this case, advantage is given
to device for symmetry adjustment of phase loads.
Izmedju primarnog kola (induktora) i

sekundarnog kola (are) pri proticanju struje
ispostavljaju se znatne elektro-dinamike sile.
Ove sile izazivaju meanje are i izdizanje
kalote metalnog kupatila u loncu pei.
Karburacija are ima svoje i dobre i lose efekte.
Dobre strane karburacije tenog liva u loncu pei su:
homogenizacija sastava liva, homogenizacija
temperaturnog polja, pospeuju se procesi
legiranja i rafinacije, efikasnije se pretapa pon i
sitni otpad. Loe strane intezivnog meanja liva
bi bile: habanje i ispiranje obloge lonca i
intenzivnija oksidacija koja je posebno
nepoeljna ako su u pitanju vosokovredne
legirajue komponente.
Significant electrical-dynamic forces are

formed between the primary circuit (inductor)
and secondary circuit (batch) with current
passage. These forces cause mixing of batch
and elevation of arch of metal basin in the
furnace pot. Carburization of the batch has both,
good and bad effects. Advantages of carburization
of liquid cast in furnace pot are: homogenization of
cast content, homogenization of temperature field,
stimulating alloying and refining processes,
more efficient re-melting into small-sized metal
particles and small waste. Downsides of
intensive cast mixing would be: wearing and
ablution of pot coating and more intensive
oxidation, particularly, undesirable if high-value
alloying components are used.
Na slici 9. prikazano je meanje kao i

izdizanje metalne kupe u loncu pei. Pojava
metalne kupe, odnosno kalote, je takodje
posledica prisutnih elektrodinamikih sila koje

krugove.
In Figure 9 is shown mixing, as well as

elevation of metal cone in furnace pot.
Occurrence of metal cone, i.e. arch, is also a
consequence of present electro-dynamical
forces which tend to separate primary and
secondary current circuits.

prance of liquid metal in furnace pot. Height of
metal cone mainly depends on frequency,
specific heating power, as well as specific batch

smaller specific mass produce higher arch in the
pot and vice versa. For years, this phenomenon of
induction pot furnace has been primary reason of
constructors reluctance to choose network

BRZA IZRADA PROTOTIPOVA- II deo

RAPID PROTYPING- Part Two
Prevod (Translation) http://home.att.net/~castleisland/
R. Vujovi, S. Manasijevi, V. Lazarevi
1. Kratak prikaz brze izrade prototipova
1. Overview of Rapid Prototyping
Termin brza izrada prototipova (RP) se

odnosi na klasu tehnologija koje automatski
konstruiu fizike modele na osnovu podataka iz
CAD-a
(Computer-Aided
Design).
Ovi
trodimenzionalni
tampai
omoguavaju
dizajnerima
da
brzo
naprave
opipljive
prototipove svog dizajna, a ne samo
dvodimenzionalne slike. Ovi modeli imaju brojne
primene. Oni su izuzetno pomono vizuelno
sredstvo za razmenu ideja izmeu saradnika ili
korisnika. Pored toga, prototipovi se mogu
koristiti za testiranje dizajna. Na primer, kosmiki
inenjer moe da postavi model krila u tunel sa
vetrom kako bi izmerio sile podizanja i vue.
Dizajneri su uvek koristili prototipove, a RP im
omoguava da ih izrauju bre uz manje
trokove.
The term rapid prototyping (RP) refers to a

class of technologies that can automatically
construct physical models from Computer-Aided
Design (CAD) data. These "three dimensional
printers" allow designers to quickly create
tangible prototypes of their designs, rather than
just two-dimensional pictures. Such models
have numerous uses. They make excellent
visual aids for communicating ideas with coworkers or customers. In addition, prototypes
can be used for design testing. For example, an
aerospace engineer might mount a model airfoil
in a wind tunnel to measure lift and drag forces.
Designers have always utilized prototypes; RP
allows them to be made faster and less
expensively.
Pored prototipova, RP tehnike se takoe

mogu upotrebljavati za izradu alata (naziva se
brza izrada alata), pa ak i za proizvodnju
kvalitetnih delova (brza proizvodnja). Kod
proizvodnje malih serija i komplikovanih
predmeta, brza izrada prototipova je esto
najbolje reenje proizvodnog procesa. Naravno,
brza je relativan termin. Za izradu veine
prototipova je potrebno izmeu tri i sedamdeset
dva sata, u zavisnosti od veliine i sloenosti
predmeta. Ovo se moe initi sporim, ali je
mnogo bre nego nedelje ili meseci koji bi bili
potrebni kada bi se prototip izraivao na
tradicionalan nain, kao to je mainska izrada.
Ove izuzetno velike utede u vremenu
omoguavaju proizvoaima da bre izbacuju
proizvode na trite i da ti proizvodi budu
povoljniji. 1994 godine, Pratt & Whitney su
ostvarili izuzetno veliko smanjenje [trokova] [i]
utedu vremena time izmeu 70 do 90
procenata ukljuivanjem brze izrade prototipova
u tehnike procese [1].
U ovom trenutku, najmanje est razliitih
tehnika vrste izrade prototipova je dostupno u
komercijalne svrhe, gde svaka ima jedinstvene
prednosti. Zbog toga to se RP tehnologije sve
vie koriste da druge svrhe, a ne samo izradu
prototipova, ove tehnike se esto zbirno nazivaju
vrsta proizvodnja slobodne forme, raunarska
automatska proizvodnja ili proizvodnja u
slojevima. Poslednji termin naroito opisuje
proces proizvodnje koji se koristi u svim
komercijalnim tehnikama.
24
In addition to prototypes, RP techniques can

also be used to make tooling (referred to as
rapid tooling) and even production-quality parts
(rapid manufacturing). For small production runs
and complicated objects, rapid prototyping is
often the best manufacturing process available.
Of course, "rapid" is a relative term. Most
prototypes require from three to seventy-two
hours to build, depending on the size and
complexity of the object. This may seem slow,
but it is much faster than the weeks or months
required to make a prototype by traditional
means such as machining. These dramatic time
savings allow manufacturers to bring products to
market faster and more cheaply. In 1994, Pratt &
Whitney achieved "an order of magnitude [cost]
reduction [and] time savings of 70 to 90 percent"
by incorporating rapid prototyping into their
investment casting process [1].
At least six different rapid prototyping
techniques are commercially available, each
with unique strengths. Because RP technologies
are being increasingly used in non-prototyping
applications,
the
techniques
are
often
collectively referred to as solid free-form
fabrication, computer automated manufacturing,
or layered manufacturing. The latter term is
particularly descriptive of the manufacturing
process used by all commercial techniques.
LIVARSTVO 48(2)
Naravno, brza izrada prototipova nije

savrena. Zapremina dela je najee
ograniena na 0.125 m3 ili manje, u zavisnosti
od RP maine. Metalne prototipove je teko
izraditi, iako je za oekivati da e se taj problem
reiti u bliskoj budunosti. Za metalne delove,
veu serijsku proizvodnju ili jednostavne
predmete, konvencionalne tehnike proizvodnje
su najee ekonominije. I pored ovih
ogranienja, brza izrada prototipova je izuzetna
tehnologija koja je izvrila revoluciju proizvodnog
procesa.
2. Osnovni proces
Iako postoji nekoliko tehnika brze izrade
prototipova, sve one koriste isti osnovni proces
koji se sastoji iz pet koraka. Ti koraci su:
1. Pravljenje CAD modela iz dizajna
2. Konvertovanje CAD modela u STL
format
3. Seenje STL fajla u tanke poprene
slojeve
4. Izrada modela postavljanjem jednog
sloja na drugi
5. ienje i finalna obrada modela
Pravljenje CAD modela: Prvo, predmet koji e
se
izraivati
modeliraju
se
upotrebom
softverskog paketa CAD (Computer-Aided
Design). Modelari vrstog predmeta, kao to je
Pro/ENGINEER preciznije predstavljaju 3-D
predmete, nego modelari sa ianim ramom kao
to je AutoCAD, i samim tim daju bolje rezultate.
Dizajner moe da koristi ranije napravljeni CAD
fajl ili moe napraviti poseban za potrebe izrade
prototipa. Ovaj proces je identian za sve RP
tehnike izrade.
Konvertovanje u STL format: Razliiti CAD
paketi koriste brojne razliite algoritme kojima se
predstavljaju vrsti predmeti. Radi doslednosti,
STL (stereolitografija, prva RP tehnika) format je
usvojen kao standard u industriji brze izrade
prototipova. Drugi korak je konvertovanje CAD
fajla u STL format. Ovaj format predstavlja
trodimenzionalnu
povrinu
kao
sklop
dvodimenzionalnih trouglova nalik bruenih
povrinama iseenog dragog kamena [2]. U fajlu
su sadrane koordinate najviih taaka i smer
spoljne normale svakog trougla. Zbog toga to
STL fajlovi koriste dvodimenzionalne elemente,
oni ne mogu potpuno tano da predstave
zakrivljene povrine. Poveanje broja trouglova
poveava tanost, ali je zbog toga fajl vei.
Veim, komplikovanim fajlovima je potrebno vie
vremena za rad na pred-obradi i izradi, tako da
dizajner treba da uskladi zadovoljavajuu
tanost sa fajlom kojim se moe lako raditi, kako
bi napravio koristan STL fajl. Budui da je .stl
format univerzalan, ovaj proces je identian za
sve RP tehnike izrade.

Of course, rapid prototyping is not perfect.

Part volume is generally limited to 0.125 cubic
meters or less, depending on the RP machine.
Metal prototypes are difficult to make, though
this should change in the near future. For metal
parts, large production runs, or simple objects,
conventional manufacturing techniques are
usually more economical. These limitations
aside, rapid prototyping is a remarkable
technology
that
is
revolutionizing
the
manufacturing process.
2 The Basic Process
Although several rapid prototyping techniques
exist, all employ the same basic five-step
process. The steps are:
1. Create a CAD model of the design
2. Convert the CAD model to STL format
3. Slice the STL file into thin crosssectional layers
4. Construct the model one layer atop
another
5. Clean and finish the model
CAD Model Creation: First, the object to be
built is modeled using a Computer-Aided Design
(CAD) software package. Solid modelers, such
as Pro/ENGINEER, tend to represent 3-D
objects more accurately than wire-frame
modelers such as AutoCAD, and will therefore
yield better results. The designer can use a preexisting CAD file or may wish to create one
expressly for prototyping purposes. This process
is identical for all of the RP build techniques.
Conversion to STL Format: The various CAD
packages use a number of different algorithms
to represent solid objects. To establish
consistency, the STL (stereolithography, the first
RP technique) format has been adopted as the
standard of the rapid prototyping industry. The
second step, therefore, is to convert the CAD file
into STL format. This format represents a threedimensional surface as an assembly of planar
triangles, "like the facets of a cut jewel [2]. The
file contains the coordinates of the vertices and
the direction of the outward normal of each
triangle. Because STL files use planar elements,
they cannot represent curved surfaces exactly.
Increasing the number of triangles improves the
approximation, but at the cost of bigger file size.
Large, complicated files require more time to
pre-process and build, so the designer must
balance accuracy with manageablility to produce
a useful STL file. Since the .stl format is
universal, this process is identical for all of the
RP build techniques.

svojstva brze izrade prototipova se moe
razlikovati u zavisnosti od smera koordinate. Na
primer, prototipovi su obino slabiji i manje
precizni na z (vertikalnom) smeru, nego u x-y
ravni. Pored toga, orjentacija dela delimino
uslovljava vremenski period koji e biti potreban
za izradu modela. Postavljanje najkrae
dimenzije u z smer, smanjuje broj slojeva, to
rezultira skraenjem vremena izrade. Softver za

izuzetno osetljiva svojstva, kao to su
kontrakonusi, unutranje upljine i odeljci sa
tankim zidovima. Svaki proizvoa RP maine
obezbeuje sopstveni softver za pred-obradu.
Slice the STL File: In the third step, a preprocessing program prepares the STL file to be
built. Several programs are available, and most
allow the user to adjust the size, location and
orientation of the model. Build orientation is
important for several reasons. First, properties of
rapid prototypes vary from one coordinate
direction to another. For example, prototypes
are usually weaker and less accurate in the z
(vertical) direction than in the x-y plane. In
addition, part orientation partially determines the
amount of time required to build the model.
Placing the shortest dimension in the z direction
reduces the number of layers, thereby
shortening build time. The pre-processing
software slices the STL model into a number of
layers from 0.01 mm to 0.7 mm thick, depending
on the build technique. The program may also
generate an auxiliary structure to support the
model during the build. Supports are useful for
delicate features such as overhangs, internal
cavities, and thin-walled sections. Each PR
machine manufacturer supplies their own
proprietary pre-processing software.

treatment. Sanding, sealing, and/or painting the
model will improve its appearance and durability.

zapoela revoluciju u brzoj izradi prototipova.

exposed to ultraviolet light. As shown in the
figure below, the model is built upon a platform
situated just below the surface in a vat of liquid
epoxy or acrylate resin. A low-power highly

3.2. Izrada vieslojnih predmeta
3.2 Laminated Object Manufacturing
Kod ove tehnike koju je razvila kompanija

Helisys iz Torens, Kalifornija, slojevi materijala
sa nanetim adhezivnim sredstvom se spajaju i
na taj nain formiraju prototip. Originalni
materijal se sastoji od papira sa nanetim lepkom
koji se nanosi delovanjem toplote, koji je zatim
namotan na kaleme. Kako je prikazano na
donjoj slici, mehanizam dovoda/kolektora nanosi
tablu na izraenu platformu, gde je osnova
napravljena od papira i dvostrane penaste trake.
Zatim, zagrejanim valjkom se nanosi pritisak
kako bi se papir spojio na osnovu. Koncentrisani
laser useca spoljnu ivicu prvog sloja u papir, a
zatim odseca viak (negativni razmak u
prototipu). Ovim postupkom se obeleava viak
materijala, pa ga je tokom post-obrade lake
ukloniti. Tokom izrade, viak materijala je
izuzetna potpora za nadstrenice i delove sa
tankim zidovima. Posle seenja prvog sloja,
platforma se pomera kako bi se stavio nov
materijal. Platforma se podie do visine koja je

proces se ponavlja koliko je potrebno kako bi se
izradio deo, koji e imati teksturu nalik drvetu.
Zbog toga to su modeli napravljeni od papira,
moraju se zatvoriti i finalno tretirati bojom ili
lakirati kako bi se spreilo oteenje usled

In this technique, developed by Helisys of

Torrance, CA, layers of adhesive-coated sheet
material are bonded together to form a
prototype. The original material consists of
paper laminated with heat-activated glue and
rolled up on spools. As shown in the figure
below, a feeder/collector mechanism advances
the sheet over the build platform, where a base
has been constructed from paper and doublesided foam tape. Next, a heated roller applies
pressure to bond the paper to the base. A
focused laser cuts the outline of the first layer
into the paper and then cross-hatches the
excess area (the negative space in the
prototype). Cross-hatching breaks up the extra
material, making it easier to remove during postprocessing. During the build, the excess material
provides excellent support for overhangs and
thin-walled sections. After the first layer is cut,
the platform lowers out of the way and fresh
material is advanced. The platform rises to
slightly below the previous height, the roller
bonds the second layer to the first, and the laser
cuts the second layer. This process is repeated
as needed to build the part, which will have a
wood-like texture. Because the models are
made of paper, they must be sealed and
finished with paint or varnish to prevent moisture
damage.

laser beam to selectively fuse powdered
materials, such as nylon, elastomer, and metal,
into a solid object. Parts are built upon a
platform which sits just below the surface in a
bin of the heat-fusable powder. A laser traces
the pattern of the first layer, sintering it together.
The platform is lowered by the height of the next
layer and powder is reapplied. This process
continues until the part is complete. Excess
powder in each layer helps to support the part
during the build. SLS machines are produced by
DTM of Austin, TX.

3.4 Fused Deposition Modeling

In this technique, filaments of heated
thermoplastic are extruded from a tip that moves
in the x-y plane. Like a baker decorating a cake,
the controlled extrusion head deposits very thin
beads of material onto the build platform to form
the first layer. The platform is maintained at a
lower temperature, so that the thermoplastic
quickly hardens. After the platform lowers, the
extrusion head deposits a second layer upon the
first. Supports are built along the way, fastened
to the part either with a second, weaker material
or with a perforated junction.

po tome to obe tehnike koriste ultraljubiasto
svetlo za selektivno ovravanje fotosenzitivnih

tretira celokupan sloj.
Developed by Cubital, solid ground curing

(SGC) is somewhat similar to stereolithography
(SLA) in that both use ultraviolet light to
selectively harden photosensitive polymers.
Unlike SLA, SGC cures an entire layer at a time.

Figure 5 depicts solid ground curing, which is

also known as the solider process. First,
photosensitive resin is sprayed on the build
platform. Next, the machine develops a
photomask (like a stencil) of the layer to be built.
This photomask is printed on a glass plate
above the build platform using an electrostatic
process similar to that found in photocopiers.
The mask is then exposed to UV light, which
only passes through the transparent portions of
the mask to selectively harden the shape of the
current layer.

Ink-Jet Printing refers to an entire class of

machines that employ ink-jet technology. The
first was 3D Printing (3DP), developed at MIT
and licensed to Soligen Corporation, Extrude
Hone, and others. The ZCorp 3D printer,
produced by Z Corporation of Burlington, MA
(www.zcorp.com) is an example of this
technology. As shown in Figure 6a, parts are
built upon a platform situated in a bin full of
powder material. An ink-jet printing head
selectively deposits or "prints" a binder fluid to
fuse the powder together in the desired areas.
Unbound powder remains to support the part.
The platform is lowered, more powder added
and leveled, and the process repeated. When
finished, the green part is then removed from the
unbound powder, and excess unbound powder
is blown off. Finished parts can be infiltrated with
wax, CA glue, or other sealants to improve
durability and surface finish. Typical layer
thicknesses are on the order of 0.1 mm. This
process is very fast, and produces parts with a
slightly grainy surface. ZCorp uses two different
materials, a starch based powder (not as strong,
but can be burned out, for investment casting
applications) and a ceramic powder. Machines
with 4 color printing capability are available.

Sanders Prototype of Wilton, NH (www.solidscape.com) uses a different ink-jet technique in

machines use two ink-jets (see Figure 6c). One
dispenses low-melt thermoplastic to make the

supports. After each layer, a cutting tool mills the
top surface to uniform height. This yields
extremely good accuracy, allowing the machines
to be used in the jewelry industry.
3D Systems' (www.3dsystems.com) version
of the ink-jet based system is called the ThermoJet or Multi-Jet Printer. It uses a linear array of
print heads to rapidly produce thermoplastic
models (Figure 6d). If the part is narrow enough,
the print head can deposit an entire layer in one
pass. Otherwise, the head makes several
passes.

Brza izrada prototipova se umnogome koristi

u automobilskoj, kosmikoj, medicinskoj i
industriji potroakih proizvoda. Iako su
mogunosti primene gotovo beskonane, gotovo
sve potpadaju pod jednu od sledeih kategorija:
izrada prototipova, brza izrada alata ili brza

4 Applications of Rapid Prototyping
4.1. Izrada prototipova
4.1 Prototyping
Kao to se moe zakljuiti iz samog naziva,

primarna upotreba brze izrade prototipova je za
brzu izradu prototipova za potrebe komunikacije
i testiranja. Prototipovi znaajno poboljavaju
komunikaciju, jer veina ljudi, ukljuujui i
inenjere, lake razumeju trodimenzionalne
predmete nego dvodimenzionalne crtee. Na taj
nain,
poboljano
razumevanje
rezultira
znaajnim utedama trokova i vremena. Kako
je izjavio izvrni direktor Pratt & Whitney,
Robert P. DeLisle: Videli smo da emo ostvariti
utedu od 100.000$ na sloenim proizvodima,
jer su ljudi koji su morali da shvate prirodu
predmeta sa 50 nacrta, sada konano mogli
zaista da je vide [13]. Efikasna komunikacija je
naroito znaajna u ovoj eri konkurentnog
inenjeringa. Poboljanje prototipa u ranoj fazi
dizajniranja, omoguava da proizvodni odeljak
moe da pone sa pripremama za proizvodnju,
a umetniki odeljak da planira pakovanje, a sve
to pre nego to se samo dizajniranje zavri.
As its name suggests, the primary use of

rapid prototyping is to quickly make prototypes
for communication and testing purposes.
Prototypes dramatically improve communication
because most people, including engineers, find
three-dimensional objects easier to understand
than two-dimensional drawings. Such improved
understanding leads to substantial cost and time
savings. As Pratt & Whitney executive Robert P.
DeLisle noted: "Weve seen an estimate on a
complex product drop by $100,000 because
people who had to figure out the nature of the
object from 50 blueprints could now see it" [13].
Effective communication is especially important
in this era of concurrent engineering. By
exchanging prototypes early in the design stage,
manufacturing can start tooling up for production
while the art division starts planning the
packaging, all before the design is finalized.
Rapid prototyping is widely used in the

automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer
products industries. Although the possible
applications are virtually limitless, nearly all fall
into one of the following categories: prototyping,
rapid tooling, or rapid manufacturing.

prototipova bi oduzimao previe vremena, ali
korienjem RP tehnologije, to je lako.
Pored toga to se brzo izrauju, RP modeli
da rade nekoliko stvari koje metalni prototipovi
ne mogu. Na primer, Pore koristi providan
stereolitografski model kuita menjaa 911 GTI
kako bi vizuelno prouavao protok ulja [6].
Snecma,
francuski
proizvoa
turbomainerije, vri analizu fotoelastinog napona na
SLA modelu toka ventilatora kako bi odredio
napone koje otrice trpe [6].
4.2. Brza izrada alata
Sa nestrpljenjem oekivana primena brze
izrade prototipova je brza izrada alata,
automatska proizvodnja kvalitetnih mainskih
alata. Izrada alata je jedan od najsporijih i
najskupljih koraka proizvodnom procesu, zbog
izuzetno visokog nivoa kvaliteta koji se oekuje.
Alati su esto kompleksne geometrije, a moraju
se precizno dimenzionirati do stotog dela
milimetra. Pored toga, alati moraju da budu tvrdi,
otporni na habanje i da imaju veoma malu
grubou povrine (oko kvadratnog korena 0.5
mikrometra). Kako bi se ispunili ovi zahtevi,
kalupi i boje se tradicionalno izrauju mainskim
putem, i to: CNC tehnologijom, elektrinim
pranjenjem ili runo. Svi ovi procesi su skupi i
dugotrajni, tako da bi proizvoai eleli da
primenjuju tehnike brze izrade prototipova kako
bi ubrzali proces. Peter Hilton, predesdnik
Technology Strategy Consulting u Konkordu,
Masausets, veruje da se trokovi izrade alata i
vremena uloenog u razvoj mogu smanjiti za 75
procenata ili vie korienjem brze izrade alata i
slinih tehnologija [7]. Brza izrada alata se moe
podeliti u dve kategorije: indirektnu i direktnu.
4.2.1. Indirektna izrada alata

Veina brze izrade alata je indirektna: RP
delovi se koriste kao obrasci za izradu modela i
kalupa. RP modeli se mogu indirektno koristiti u
brojnim proizvodnim procesima:

FOUNDRY 48(2)
Prototypes are also useful for testing a

design, to see if it performs as desired or needs
improvement. Engineers have always tested
prototypes, but RP expands their capabilities.
First, it is now easy to perform iterative testing:
build a prototype, test it, redesign, build and test,
etc. Such an approach would be far too timeconsuming
using
traditional
prototyping
techniques, but it is easy using RP.
In addition to being fast, RP models can do a
few things metal prototypes cannot. For
example,
Porsche
used
a
transparent
stereolithography model of the 911 GTI
transmission housing to visually study oil flow
[6]. Snecma, a French turbomachinery producer,
performed photoelastic stress analysis on a SLA
model of a fan wheel to determine stresses in
the blades [6].
4.2 Rapid Tooling
A much-anticipated application of rapid
prototyping is rapid tooling, the automatic
fabrication of production quality machine tools.
Tooling is one of the slowest and most
expensive steps in the manufacturing process,
because of the extremely high quality required.
Tools often have complex geometries, yet must
be dimensionally accurate to within a hundredth
of a millimeter. In addition, tools must be hard,
wear-resistant, and have very low surface
roughness (about 0.5 micrometers root mean
square). To meet these requirements, molds
and dies are traditionally made by CNCmachining, electro-discharge machining, or by
hand. All are expensive and time consuming, so
manufacturers would like to incorporate rapid
prototyping techniques to speed the process.
Peter Hilton, president of Technology Strategy
Consulting in Concord, MA, believes that
"tooling costs and development times can be
reduced by 75 percent or more" by using rapid
tooling and related technologies [7]. Rapid
tooling can be divided into two categories,
indirect and direct.
4.2.1 Indirect Tooling

Most rapid tooling today is indirect: RP parts
are used as patterns for making molds and dies.
RP models can be indirectly used in a number of
manufacturing processes:

Livenje korienjem vakuma: Kod

najjednostavnije i najstarije tehnike brze
izrade alata, RP pozitivan obrazac se
ostavlja u posudi sa tenim silikonom ili
gumom za vulkanizaciju na sobnoj
temperaturi (RTV). Kada guma ovrsne,
see se na dve polovine, a RP obrazac
uklanja. Gumeni kalup koji se dobija na
ovaj nain se moe koristiti za izlivanje do
20 kopija od poliuretana originalnog RP
obrasca. U varijanti koja je jo korisnija, a
poznata pod nazivom Keltool proces
sinterovanja metalnog praha, za izradu
metalnih alatki se koriste gumeni kalupi
[8]. Razvijen od strane 3M, sada u
vlasnitvu 3D Systems, Keltool proces
podrazumeva
popunjavanje
gumenih
kalupa elikom sa prahom i epoksi
vezivnog sredstva. Kada se vezivno
sredstvo tretira, zelena metalna alatka
se uklanja iz gumenog kalupa, a zatim
sinteruje. U ovoj fazi, metal je samo 70%
gust, tako da se infiltrira bakrom kako bi
se pribliio teoretski maksimalnoj gustini.
Alatke su prilino dobre preciznosti, ali
njihova veliina je ograniena na manje 25
centimetra.
Livenje korienjem peska: RP model
se koristi kao pozitivan obrazac oko koga
se pravi kalup od peska. esto se koriste
LOM modeli, koji podseaju na drvene
modele koji su se tradicionalno koristili za
ove namene. Ako se zapeate i finalno
obrade, LOM obrasci mogu da proizvedu
oko 100 peanih kalupa.
Tehniko livenje metalnih delova u vosku:
Neki RP prototipovi se mogu koristiti kao
obrasci za livenje metalnih delova u
vosku. Obrazac se ne sme iriti na toploti,
jer e tokom tretiranja u autoklavu pui
keramiki omota. Stratasys i Cubital
prave tehniki vosak za svoje maine.
Mogu se koristiti i papirni LOM prototipovi,
budui da su njegove dimenzije stabilne
na razliitim temperaturama. Papirni
omota sagoreva, posle ega ostaje
manja koliina pepela koju je potrebno
ukloniti.
Radi izraunavanja toplotne ekspanzije

uglavnom uplju unutranju strukturu. Pri

Trueform polimer, poroznu supstancu
koja se u maloj meri iri pri poveanju

FOUNDRY 48(2)
Vacuum Casting: In the simplest and

oldest rapid tooling technique, a RP
positive pattern is suspended in a vat of
liquid silicone or room temperature
vulcanizing (RTV) rubber. When the
rubber hardens, it is cut into two halves
and the RP pattern is removed. The
resulting rubber mold can be used to cast
up to 20 polyurethane replicas of the
original RP pattern. A more useful variant,
known as the Keltool powder metal
sintering process, uses the rubber molds
to produce metal tools [8]. Developed by
3M and now owned by 3D Systems, the
Keltool process involves filling the rubber
molds with powdered tool steel and epoxy
binder. When the binder cures, the "green"
metal tool is removed from the rubber
mold and then sintered. At this stage the
metal is only 70% dense, so it is infiltrated
with copper to bring it close to its
theoretical maximum density. The tools
have fairly good accuracy, but their size is
limited to under 25 centimeters.
Sand Casting: A RP model is used as the

positive pattern around which the sand
mold is built. LOM models, which
resemble the wooden models traditionally
used for this purpose, are often used. If
sealed and finished, a LOM pattern can
produce about 100 sand molds.
Investment Casting: Some RP prototypes

can be used as investment casting
patterns. The pattern must not expand
when heated, or it will crack the ceramic
shell during autoclaving. Both Stratasys
and Cubital make investment casting wax
for their machines. Paper LOM prototypes
may also be used, as they are
dimensionally stable with temperature.
The paper shells burn out, leaving some
ash to be removed.
To counter thermal expansion in

stereolithography parts, 3D Systems
introduced QuickCast, a build style
featuring a solid outer skin and mostly
hollow inner structure. The part collapses
inward when heated. Likewise, DTM sells
Trueform polymer, a porous substance
that expands little with temperature rise,
for use in its SLS machines.

RapidTool: DTM proces koji selektivno

sinteruje polimerom obloena elina
zrna kako bi se napravio metalni kalup.
Kalup se zatim postavlja u pe gde
vezivni polimer sagoreva i deo se
infiltrira bakrom (kao i kod Keltool
procesa). Kalup koji se dobija moe da
proizvede do 50.000 kalupa za
modeliranje.
1996. godine Rubbermaid je proizveo
30.000 plastinih stonih planera iz SLS
kalupa. Ovo je prvi masovno prodati
potroni proizvod koji je proizveden
direktnom brzom izradom alata [8].
Extrude Hone, iz Irvina, Pensilvanija
ubrzo prodaje mainu zasnovanu na
MIT-om procesu 3D tampanja koja

Laserska izrada gotovih proizvoda

Laser-Engineered
Net

dravna laboratorija Sandia i Stanford
Univerzitet, a tokom njega se mogu
praviti metalne alatke iz CAD podataka
[8]. Materijali ukljuuju 316 nerajui

tungsten i titanijum karbid cermeti.
Laserski snop topi gornji sloj dela na
mestima na kojima je potrebno dodati

Injection molding: CEMCOM Research

Associates, Inc. has developed the NCC
Tooling System to make metal/ceramic
composite molds for the injection
molding of plastics [8]. First, a
stereolithography machine is used to
make a match-plate positive pattern of
the desired molding. To form the mold,
the SLA pattern is plated with nickel,
which is then reinforced with a stiff
ceramic material. The two mold halves
are separated to remove the pattern,
leaving a matched die set that can
produce tens of thousands of injection
moldings.
4.2.2 Direct Tooling

To directly make hard tooling from CAD data
is the Holy Grail of rapid tooling. Realization of
this objective is still several years away, but
some strong strides are being made:
RapidTool: A DTM process that

selectively sinters polymer-coated steel
pellets together to produce a metal mold.
The mold is then placed in a furnace
where the polymer binder is burned off
and the part is infiltrated with copper (as
in the Keltool process). The resulting
mold can produce up to 50,000 injection
moldings.
In 1996 Rubbermaid produced 30,000
plastic desk organizers from a SLS-built
mold. This was the first widely sold
consumer product to be produced from
direct rapid tooling [8]. Extrude Hone, in
Irwin PA, will soon sell a machine, based
on MITs 3D Printing process, that
produces bronze-infiltrated PM tools and
products [8].
Laser-Engineered
Net
Shaping
(LENS) is a process developed at
Sandia National Laboratories and
Stanford University that can create metal
tools from CAD data [8]. Materials
include 316 stainless steel, Inconel 625,
H13 tool steel, tungsten, and titanium
carbide cermets. A laser beam melts the
top layer of the part in areas where
material is to be added. Powder metal is
injected into the molten pool, which then
solidifies. Layer after layer is added until
the part is complete. Unlike traditional
powder
metal
processing,
LENS
produces fully dense parts, since the
metal is melted, not merely sintered.

4.3. Brza proizvodnja

Prirodan nastavak RP je brza proizvodnja
(RM), automatska proizvodnja konkurentnih
proizvoda direktno iz CAD podataka. Trenutno,
samo nekoliko gotovih proizvoda se proizvodi
RP mainama, ali njihov broj e se poveati
kada metali i drugi materijali postanu dostupniji.
RM nikada nee u potpunosti zameniti druge
tehnike proizvodnje, naroito u velikim serijama,
gde je masovna proizvodnja ekonominija.
FOUNDRY 48(2)
The resulting parts have exceptional

mechanical properties, but the process
currently works only for parts with
simple, uniform cross sections. The
system has been commercialized by
MTS corporation (www.mts.com)
Direct AIM (ACES Injection Molding):

A technique from 3D Systems in which
stereolithography-produced cores are
used with traditional metal molds for
injection molding of high and low density
polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene
and ABS plastic [6]. Very good accuracy
is achieved for fewer than 200 moldings.
Long cycle times (~ five minutes) are
required to allow the molding to cool
enough that it will not stick to the SLA
core.
In another variation, cores are made
from thin SLA shells filled with epoxy
and aluminum shot. Aluminums high
conductivity helps the molding cool
faster, thus shortening cycle time. The
outer surface can also be plated with
metal to improve wear resistance.
Production runs of 1000-5000 moldings
are envisioned to make the process
economically viable.
LOMComposite: Helysis and the

University of Dayton are working to
develop ceramic composite materials for
Laminated
Object
Manufacturing.
LOMComposite parts would be very
strong and durable, and could be used
as tooling in a variety of manufacturing
processes.
Sand Molding: At least two RP

techniques can construct sand molds
directly from CAD data. DTM sells sandlike material that can be sintered into
molds. Soligen (www.3dprinting.com)
uses 3DP to produce ceramic molds and
cores for investment casting, (Direct
Shell Production Casting).
4.3 Rapid Manufacturing

A natural extension of RP is rapid
manufacturing (RM), the automated production
of salable products directly from CAD data.
Currently only a few final products are produced
by RP machines, but the number will increase
as metals and other materials become more
widely available. RM will never completely
replace
other
manufacturing
techniques,
especially in large production runs where massproduction is more economical.

LIVARSTVO 48(2)
Kod proizvodnje u malim serijama, RM je

mnogo jeftiniji, jer ne zahteva izradu alata. RM je
takoe idealno reenje za proizvodnju delova po
narudbini prilagoenih izriitim specifikacijama
korisnika. U istraivakom projektu Univerziteta
u Delaveru koristi se digitalizovani 3-D model
ljudske glave pri izradi lemova po narudbini.23
NASA eksperimentie sa upotrebom RP maina
za proizvodnju rukavica za svemirska odela koje
e odgovarati rukama svakog astronauta
pojedinano [9]. Mogunosti su beskonane, od
izrade ruki za palice za golf po narudbini do
posua po narudbini.
Druga znaajna upotreba RM je za proizvode
koji se jednostavno ne mogu napraviti
procesima oduzimanja (mainska obrada,
mlevenje) ili komprimovanja (kovanje, itd.). To
obuhvata
proizvodne
sa
kompleksnim
svojstvima, upljinama u unutranjosti i
slojevitim strukturama. Specific Surface iz
Franklina, Masausets koristi RP za proizvodnju
komplikovanih keramikih filtera koji imaju osam
puta manju unutranju povrinu od starijih
tipova. Filteri uklanjaju estice iz gasnih emisija
elektrana koje koriste ugalj [8]. Therics, Inc. iz
Nju Jorka koristi RP vieslojnu izradu za razvoj
tableta koje oslobaaju odreenu dozu leka u
odreeno vreme tokom dana i druge
medicinske proizvode [8].
5. Budui razvoj
Brza izrada prototipova poinje da menja
nain na koji kompanije dizajniraju i izrauju
proizvode. Nazire se nekoliko inovacije koje e
pomoi revolucionarnu promenu proizvodnje
kakvu znamo danas.
Jedno takvo poboljanje je poveana brzina.
Maine za brzu izradu prototipova su jo uvek
spore po nekim standardima. Upotrebom brih
raunara, sloenijih kontrolnih sistema i
poboljanih materijala, RP proizvoai su
znaajno skratili vreme izrade. Na primer,
Stratasys je nedavno (januar 1998) predstavio
FDM Quantum mainu, koja moe da proizvodi
modele od ABS plastike 2.5-5 puta bre od
ranije verzije FDM maine [10]. Kontinuirano
smanjenje vremena izrade e usloviti da brza
izrada prototipova postane ekonomina za irok
asortiman proizvoda.
Jedan od buduih razvojnih aspekata su vea
preciznost i bolja finalna obrada povrine.
Maine koje se danas koriste u komercijalnoj
upotrebi su precizne do ~0.08 milimetara u x-y
ravni, ali manje u z (vertikalnom) smeru.
Poboljanja u laserskoj optici i kontroli motora
treba da poveaju preciznost u sva tri smera. RP
kompanije razvijaju nove polimere koji e se
manje savijati usled delovanja tretmana i
temperature.
38
FOUNDRY 48(2)
For short production runs, however, RM is

much cheaper, since it does not require tooling.
RM is also ideal for producing custom parts
tailored to the users exact specifications. A
University of Delaware research project uses a
digitized 3-D model of a persons head to
construct a custom-fitted helmet. 23 NASA is
experimenting with using RP machines to
produce spacesuit gloves fitted to each
astronauts hands [9]. From tailored golf club
grips to custom dinnerware, the possibilities are
endless.
The other major use of RM is for products
that simply cannot be made by subtractive
(machining, grinding) or compressive (forging,
etc.) processes. This includes objects with
complex features, internal voids, and layered
structures. Specific Surface of Franklin, MA uses
RP to manufacture complicated ceramic filters
that have eight times the interior surface area of
older types. The filters remove particles from the
gas emissions of coal-fired power plants [8].
Therics, Inc. of NYC is using RPs layered build
style to develop "pills that release measured
drug doses at specified times during the day"
and other medical products [8].
5 Future Developments
Rapid prototyping is starting to change the
way companies design and build products. On
the horizon, though, are several developments
that will help to revolutionize manufacturing as
we know it.
One such improvement is increased speed.
"Rapid" prototyping machines are still slow by
some standards. By using faster computers,
more complex control systems, and improved
materials, RP manufacturers are dramatically
reducing build time. For example, Stratasys
recently (January 1998) introduced its FDM
Quantum machine, which can produce ABS
plastic models 2.5-5 times faster than previous
FDM machines [10]. Continued reductions in
build time will make rapid manufacturing
economical for a wider variety of products.
Another future development is improved
accuracy
and
surface
finish.
Todays
commercially available machines are accurate to
~0.08 millimeters in the x-y plane, but less in the
z (vertical) direction. Improvements in laser
optics and motor control should increase
accuracy in all three directions. In addition, RP
companies are developing new polymers that
will be less prone to curing and temperatureinduced warpage.

Uvoenje
ne-polimerskih
materijala,
ukljuujui metale, keramiku i kompozite, je jo
jedan razvoj koji se sa nestrpljenjem oekuje.
Ovi materijali bi omoguili RP korisnicima da
proizvedu
funkcionalne
delove.
Dananji
plastini prototipovi su se pokazali dobro kod
vizuelizacije i testova podesnosti, ali su esto
previe slabi kod funkcionalnog testiranja.
Grubljim materijalima bi mogli da se naprave
prototipovi koji bi mogli da budu podvrgnuti
stvarnim radnim uslovima. Pored toga, metalni i
kompozitni materijali e znaajno proiriti
asortiman proizvoda koji se mogu napraviti
procesom brze proizvodnje.
Mnoge RP kompanije i istraivake
laboratorije rade na razvoju novih materijala. Na
primer, Univerzitet u Dejtonu sarauje sa
Helisys-om na proizvodnji keramikih matrinih
kompozita vieslojnom izradom predmeta [11].
Agencija
za
napredne
istraivake
projekte/Kancelarija mornarice za istraivanje
istrauju naine na koje bi keramika mogla da se
koristi pri modelovanju stopljenih depozita [12].
Kako je ranije pomenuto, Sandia/Stanford-ov
LENS sistem moe da izrauje vrste metalne
delove. Ove tri grupe su samo neke od
mnogobrojnih koje rade na novim RP
materijalima.
Drugi znaajni razvoj je poveanje kapaciteta
veliine. Trenutno je veina RP maina
ograniena na predmete od 0.125 kubnih
metara ili manje. Vei delovi se moraju praviti iz
odeljaka i spajati se rukom. Da bi se situacija
popravila, koristi se nekoliko tehnika velikih
prototipova.
Najpotpunije
razvijen
je
topografska izrada omotaa kompanije Formus
iz San Hozea, Kalifornija. U ovom procesu,
privremeni kalup se izrauje iz slojeva
silicijumskog praha (pesak visokog kvaliteta) koji
se spaja parafinskim voskom. Kalup se zatim
koristi za proizvodnju fiberglasa, epoksi, pene i
konkretnih modela do veliine 3.3x2x 1.2 m [13].
Na Univerzitetu u Juti, profesor arls Tomas
razvija sisteme za usecanje komplikovanih
oblika u 1.2 m x 2.4 m odeljke od pene ili papira
[6]. Istraivai u dravnoj laboratoriji za
primenjenoj istraivanje Pensilvanije (ARL) tee

metalnih delova, kao to su oklopne kule na
tenku korienjem lasera koje navode roboti.
Voa grupe Henri Vatson navodi da je veliina
proizvodnje ograniena samo veliinom robota
koji dri laser [5].
FOUNDRY 48(2)
The introduction of non-polymeric materials,

including metals, ceramics, and composites,
represents
another
much
anticipated
development. These materials would allow RP
users to produce functional parts. Todays
plastic prototypes work well for visualization and
fit tests, but they are often too weak for function
testing. More rugged materials would yield
prototypes that could be subjected to actual
service conditions. In addition, metal and
composite materials will greatly expand the
range of products that can be made by rapid
manufacturing.
Many RP companies and research labs are
working to develop new materials. For example,
the University of Dayton is working with Helisys
to produce ceramic matrix composites by
laminated object manufacturing [11]. An
Advanced Research Projects Agency / Office of
Naval
Research
sponsored
project
is
investigating ways to make ceramics using
fused deposition modeling [12]. As mentioned
earlier, Sandia/Stanfords LENS system can
create solid metal parts. These three groups are
just a few of the many working on new RP
materials.
Another important development is increased
size capacity. Currently most RP machines are
limited to objects 0.125 cubic meters or less.
Larger parts must be built in sections and joined
by hand. To remedy this situation, several "large
prototype" techniques are in the works. The
most fully developed is Topographic Shell
Fabrication from Formus in San Jose, CA. In this
process, a temporary mold is built from layers of
silica powder (high quality sand) bound together
with paraffin wax. The mold is then used to
produce fiberglass, epoxy, foam, or concrete
models up to 3.3x2x1.2 m in size [13].
At the University of Utah, Professor Charles
Thomas is developing systems to cut intricate
shapes into 1.2 m x 2.4 m sections of foam or
paper [6]. Researchers at Penn States Applied
Research Lab (ARL) are aiming even higher: to
directly build large metal parts such as tank
turrets using robotically guided lasers. Group
leader Henry Watson states that product size is
limited only by the size of the robot holding the
laser [5].

All the above improvements will help the

rapid prototyping industry continue to grow, both
worldwide and at home. The United States
currently dominates the field, but Germany,
Japan, and Israel are making inroads. In time
RP will spread to less technologically developed
countries as well. With more people and
countries in the field, RPs growth will accelerate
further.
Jedna od buduih primena je i daljinska

proizvodnja po zahtevu, kombinacija RP i
Interneta koja omoguava dizajnerima da
daljinskim putem predaju dizajne na neposrednu
izradu. Istraivai na UC-Berkliju se, izmeu
ostalog bave razvojem ovakvog sistema [14].
RP entuzijasti veruju da e se primena RP
proiriti i na domove, dajui novo znaenje
terminu kuna industrija. Trodimenzionalni
kuni tampai se mogu initi nezamislivim, ali
isto se pre petnaest godina moglo rei i za
lasersko tampanje u boji.
One
future
application
is
Distance
Manufacturing on Demand, a combination of RP
and the Internet that will allow designers to
remotely submit designs for immediate
manufacture. Researchers at UC-Berkeley,
among others, are developing such a system
[14]. RP enthusiasts believe that RP will even
spread to the home, lending new meaning to the
term "cottage industry." Three-dimensional
home printers may seem far-fetched, but the
same could be said for color laser printing just
fifteen years ago.
Konano, uspon brze izrade prototipova je

podstakao progres u tradicionalnim metodama
oduzimanja. Napredak u kompjuterizovanom
planiranju trasa, numerikoj kontroli i mainskoj
dinamici su poveali brzinu i preciznost
mainske obrade. Moderni CNC mainski centri
mogu imati brzinu osovine do 100.000
obrta/minuti, sa odgovarajuom prateom
brzinom dovoda [6]. Takve velike brzine
uklanjanja materijala znae kratko vreme izrade.
Za dalje primene, naroito metala, mainska
obrada e nastaviti da bude koristan proizvodni
proces. Brza izrada prototipova nee mainsku
izradu uiniti suvinom, ve e je upotpuniti.
Finally, the rise of rapid prototyping has

spurred progress in traditional subtractive
methods as well. Advances in computerized
path planning, numeric control, and machine
dynamics are increasing the speed and
accuracy of machining. Modern CNC machining
centers can have spindle speeds of up to
100,000 RPM, with correspondingly fast feed
rates [6]. Such high material removal rates
translate into short build times. For certain
applications, particularly metals, machining will
continue to be a useful manufacturing process.
Rapid prototyping will not make machining
obsolete, but rather complement it.
