An Overview of Rapid Prototyping-FDM

D. N. Drakshayani

Abstract


Rapid prototyping (RP) has been introduced as a frontier technology in the modern times, which allows direct transformation of CAD files into functional prototypes. It decreases the lead-time to produce physical prototypes necessary for design verification, fit and functional analysis by generating the prototypes directly from the CAD data. This paper presents an overview of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process, process parameters and its applications. Keywords: additive manufacturing, fused deposition modeling, process parameters, rapid prototyping
