Title: Driving Rapid Prototyping Machine Directly within CAD System
Abstract: The project and techniques of driving rapid prototyping (RP) machine within CAD system were researched to avoid the precision decreasement of the data transfer from CAD to RP system. The method of achieving the layer’s contour scanning data within CAD system was researched; then, the data transfer model of direct integration of CAD and RP was established; finally, tests were conducted on a polystyrene foam cutter machine with example of layer generation. Tests show that the approximate processing to 3D CAD model can be avoided during data transfer between CAD and RP, and RP machine can be driven and controlled within CAD system.
