 RAPID PROTOTYPING

Rapid prototyping is a group of

techniques used to quickly fabricate a 
scale model of a physical part or assembly
using three-dimensional 
computer aided design (CAD) data.[1][2]
 Construction of the part or assembly is
usually done using 3D printing or "
additive layer manufacturing" technology
 APPLICATION

Automotive Industry Aerospace Industry

Medical Industry Electronics Industry etc.

COMMON TYPES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING
Stereolithography
SLA is an industrial 3D printing, or additive
manufacturing, a process that builds parts in a pool of
UV-curable photopolymer resin using a computer-
controlled laser. The laser is used to trace out and cure
a cross-section of the part design on the surface of the
liquid resin.
The solidified layer is then lowered just below the
surface of the liquid resin and the process is repeated.
Each newly cured layer adheres to the layer below it.
This process continues until the part is completed.
 Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

LS parts are built, layer by layer from the bottom

up, with a computer-controlled laser beam fusing fine
white plastic powder. Each new layer is fused to the
layer beneath. Where necessary, support structures are
also printed to prevent overhanging or other features
from distorting during the build process. After the part
is built, the support structures are removed, the part
is cleaned, and any additional finishing processes
applied. 
 FUSED DEPOSITION MELTING

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), or

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is an
additive manufacturing process that belongs
to the material extrusion family. In FDM, an
object is built by selectively depositing
melted material in a pre-determined path
layer-by-layer.
 ADVANTAGES OF FDM
~ Speed - Parts produced with FDM can be ready in a few
minutes or couple of hours making it one of the fastest choices in 3D printing. For ex, CAD drawings can be transformed into finished products in
only one step.
~ Accuracy – FDM printers use a thermoplastic filament that is heated to a melting point and then extracted in layers to create a 3D object.
~ Affordability - FDM process uses thermoplastic and ceramic filament that is affordable compared to the alternative. The modest size of the
printers also means parts don't have to be manufactured in a large facility, helping to lower the expense of producing small components.
~ Ease Of Use – FDM printers can create any item designs in a CAD program. Production is set up on a computer in an is –easy to use- application
and Is entirely controlled by the machine.
 DISADVANTAGES OF FDM

Lack of accuracy

Added initial costs

Some rapid prototyping processes are still expensive and not economical

Material properties like surface finish and strength cannot be matched

The range of materials that can be used is limited

 ROTARY TO LINEAR MOTION MECHANISM

In this mechanism rotary motion is converted into

linear motion. For this project we chose Slider –
Crank Mechanism to achieve Rotary to Linear
Motion Mechanism.
A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which
converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is
achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a
rod. This mechanism is also utilized as a system that
converts the reciprocating linear motion of an
automobile engine into rotary motion.
 Applications
•Hammer drill
•Reciprocating saw
•Saber saws
•Powered files
•Linear actuators
•Positioning table
•Broaching
•Stamping presses with flywheel energy storage

 Selection of Slider-Crank method out of all other methods to achieve the desired mechanism.
 Analyzation of all aspects of the Slider-Crank mechanism like the motion path of the parts,
dimensions, etc.
 Creating a conceptual design.
 Manual Drafting with detailed dimensions.
 Drafting and assembling all the parts in Fusion 360.
 Creating a working animation of the mechanism.
 Creating STL files of each individual part.
 Selecting appropriate 3d printing process parameters.
