Continuous improvement of the application level of RP technology is an important aspect to promote the development of RP technology. At present, rapid prototyping technology has been widely used in industrial modeling, mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, military, architecture, film and television, household appliances, light industry, medicine, archaeology, culture and art, sculpture, jewelry and other fields. With the development of this technology, its application will continue to expand. The practical application of RP technology mainly concentrates on the following aspects:

　　（1）在新產品設計過程中的應用快速原型技術為工業(yè)產品設計和開發(fā)人員建立了全新的產品開發(fā)模型。 使用RP技術可以將設計思想快速，直接，準確地轉換為具有一定功能的物理模型（樣本），不僅縮短了開發(fā)周期，而且降低了開發(fā)成本，也使企業(yè)在激烈的市場競爭中占據(jù)了首位。 機。

　　(1) The application of rapid prototyping technology in the process of new product design establishes a brand-new product development model for industrial product designers and developers. Using RP technology, the design idea can be quickly, directly and accurately transformed into a physical model (sample) with certain functions, which not only shortens the development cycle, but also reduces the development cost, and also makes enterprises occupy the first place in the fierce market competition. Aircraft.

　　（2）在機械制造領域中的應用由于RP技術的特性，它已在機械制造領域中被廣泛使用，并且用于制造單件和小批量金屬零件。 由于單件生產或少于50個小批量，一些特殊而復雜的零件可以通過RP技術直接形成，成本低，周期短。

　　(2) Because of the characteristics of RP technology, it has been widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing, and used to manufacture single and small batch metal parts. Because of single production or less than 50 small batches, some special and complex parts can be directly formed by RP technology, with low cost and short cycle.

　　（3）快速模具制造傳統(tǒng)模具生產時間長，成本高。 快速成型技術與傳統(tǒng)模具制造技術的結合可以大大縮短模具制造的開發(fā)周期，提高生產率，是解決模具設計與制造薄弱環(huán)節(jié)的有效途徑。 快速成型技術在模具制造中的應用可分為直接成型和間接成型。 直接成型是指通過RP技術直接積累模具。 間接成型是生產快速成型零件，然后復制它們。 獲得所需的模具。

　　(3) Rapid tooling has a long production time and high cost. The combination of rapid prototyping technology and traditional die manufacturing technology can greatly shorten the development cycle of die manufacturing and improve productivity. It is an effective way to solve the weak links of die design and manufacturing. The application of rapid prototyping technology in die manufacturing can be divided into direct prototyping and indirect prototyping. Direct forming refers to the direct accumulation of molds through RP technology. Indirect prototyping is to first produce rapid prototyping parts and then copy them. Get the required die.

　　（4）在醫(yī)療領域的應用近年來，人們對RP技術在醫(yī)療領域的應用進行了更多的研究。 基于醫(yī)學圖像數(shù)據(jù)，利用RP技術制作人體器官模型具有很大的手術應用價值。

　　(4) In recent years, people have done more research on the application of RP technology in medical field. Based on medical image data, RP technology has great application value in human organ models.

　　（5）在文化藝術領域的應用在文化藝術領域，快速原型制造技術主要用于藝術創(chuàng)作，文物復制，數(shù)字雕塑等。

　　(5) In the field of culture and art, rapid prototyping manufacturing technology is mainly used in artistic creation, cultural relics reproduction, digital sculpture and so on.

　　（6）在航空航天技術中的應用在航空航天領域，空氣動力學地面模擬實驗（即風洞實驗）是設計的往返系統(tǒng)（即航天飛機）的重要組成部分。 本實驗中使用的模型形狀復雜，精度高且具有流線型的特征。  RP技術通過RP設備根據(jù)CAD模型自動完成實體模型，從而可以保證模型的質量。

　　(6) The application of aerospace technology in aerospace field. Aerodynamic ground simulation experiment (wind tunnel experiment) is an important part of designing advanced world-class shuttle system (space shuttle). The model used in this experiment has complex shape, high precision and streamlined characteristics. RP technology can automatically complete entity model according to CAD model by RP equipment, so as to ensure the quality of model.

　　（7）在家電行業(yè)中的應用目前，快速成型系統(tǒng)已經在家電行業(yè)中得到了廣泛的應用和應用，使許多家電企業(yè)處于全國前列。 一些公司已經采用快速原型系統(tǒng)來開發(fā)新系統(tǒng)。 該產品收到了很好的效果。 快速成型技術被廣泛使用，并且據(jù)信隨著快速成型制造技術的成熟和改進，它將在越來越多的領域中得到推廣和應用。

　　(7) At present, rapid prototyping system has been widely used and applied in household appliances industry, making many household appliances enterprises in the forefront of the country. Some companies have adopted rapid prototyping systems to develop new systems. The product has achieved good results. Rapid prototyping technology is widely used, and it is believed that with the maturity and improvement of rapid prototyping manufacturing technology, it will be popularized and applied in more and more fields.
