Characterization of metal powder based rapid prototyping components with respect to aluminium high pressure die casting process conditions

Pereira, M.F.V.T.; Williams, M.; Du Preez, W.B (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2010)

This paper is based on tests performed on die component specimens manufactured by EOS-DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and LENS (laser engineered net shape) RP (rapid prototyping) technology platforms, as well as ...
Gynaecological product development facilitated through RP and Rapid Tooling

Barnard, L.J.; Booysen, G.J.; De Beer, D.J. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 4, Issue 1: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2005)

Atkinson distinguishes between four types of prototypes, categorised through its end-use: •Design or aesthetic prototypes •Geometrical prototypes •Functional prototypes •Technological prototypes Shigley and Mitchell ...
Suitability of layer manufacturing technologies for rapid tooling development in investment casting of light metals

Dimitrov, D.; Hugo, P.A.; Deez, B. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2010)

Rapid tooling (RT) in the context of this research presents the possibility of improving the traditional investment casting process by shortening lead times while still maintaining affordable costs and required quality. ...
