快速原型技术是一种涉及多学科的新型综合制造技术。80年代后，随着计算机辅助设计的应用，产品造型和设计能力得到极大提高，然而在产品设计完成后，批量生产前，必须制出样品以表达设计构想，快速获取产品设计的反馈信息，并对产品设计的可行性作出评估、论证。在市场竞争日趋激烈的今天，时间就是效益。为了提高产品市场竞争力，从产品开发到批量投产的整个过程都迫切要求降低成本和提高速度。快速原型技术的出现，为这一问题的解决提供了有效途径，倍受国内外重视。
1 快速原型技术的基本原理
快速原型技术是用离散分层的原理制作产品原型的总称，其原理为：产品三维CAD模型→分层离散→按离散后的平面几何信息逐层加工堆积原材料→生成实体模型。
该技术集计算机技术、激光加工技术、新型材料技术于一体，依靠CAD软件，在计算机中建立三维实体模型，并将其切分成一系列平面几何信息，以此控制激光束的扫描方向和速度，采用粘结、熔结、聚合或化学反应等手段逐层有选择地加工原材料，从而快速堆积制作出产品实体模型。
The Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing and its application in molding manufacturing
Abstract: By discussing the rapid prototyping technology the craft principle, characteristic of the processes, formation and the general situation of the develop of fast prototype and its application in molding, point out the technique can form a kind of a process system of extensive application and novel, and its foreground is vast.
Key Words: rapid prototyping technology; molding manufacturing; development of product
Rapid prototyping technology is a new type of multidisciplinary integrated manufacturing technology. After the 1980s, following the application of computer-aided design, product shape and design capabilities have greatly improved, however, product design has completed, production, a system must be designed to convey the concept of samples, rapid feedback to product design, product design and assess the feasibility, and feasibility studies. The increasingly fierce competition in the market today, the time is effective. To enhance the competitiveness of products, from product development to volume production of the whole process are urgently required to reduce costs and increase speed. Rapid prototype technology appearance provides an effective solution to this problem which much attention at home and abroad.
1. The basic principle of Rapid Prototyping Technology
The RP is the generic name of the principle creation product prototype that uses the long-lost layering, its principle is: Produce CAD model Stratified separated according to the plan geometry information which is dispersed to pile up the original material generating entity models.
