Choosing optimal rapid manufacturing process for thin-walled products using expert algorithm
Abstract: Choosing right Rapid
Prototyping technology is not easy, especially for companies inexperienced with
that group of manufacturing techniques. Paper summarizes research focused on
creating an algorithm for expert system, helping to choose optimal process and
determine its parameters for thin-walled products rapid manufacturing. Research
was based upon trial manufacturing of different thin-walled items using various
RP technologies. Products were categorized, each category was defined by a set
of requirements. Basing on research outcome, main algorithm has been created.
Next step was developing detailed algorithms for optimizing particular methods.
Implementation of these algorithms brings huge benefit for recipients,
including cost reduction, supply time decrease and improvements in information
flow.
