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:

　?。?）在新產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)過程中的應(yīng)用快速原型技術(shù)為工業(yè)產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)和開發(fā)人員建立了全新的產(chǎn)品開發(fā)模型。 使用RP技術(shù)可以將設(shè)計(jì)思想快速，直接，準(zhǔn)確地轉(zhuǎn)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(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中占據(jù)了首位。 機(jī)。

　　(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.

　?。?）在機(jī)械制造領(lǐng)域中的應(yīng)用由于RP技術(shù)的特性，它已在機(jī)械制造領(lǐng)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(chǎn)或少于50個(gè)小批量，一些特殊而復(fù)雜的零件可以通過RP技術(shù)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.

　?。?）快速模具制造傳統(tǒng)模具生產(chǎn)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)，成本高。 快速成型技術(shù)與傳統(tǒng)模具制造技術(shù)的結(jié)合可以大大縮短模具制造的開發(fā)周期，提高生產(chǎn)率，是解決模具設(shè)計(jì)與制造薄弱環(huán)節(jié)的有效途徑。 快速成型技術(shù)在模具制造中的應(yīng)用可分為直接成型和間接成型。 直接成型是指通過RP技術(shù)直接積累模具。 間接成型是生產(chǎn)快速成型零件，然后復(fù)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) 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(shù)領(lǐng)域的應(yīng)用在文化藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域，快速原型制造技術(shù)主要用于藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作，文物復(fù)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(shù)中的應(yīng)用在航空航天領(lǐng)域，空氣動(dòng)力學(xué)地面模擬實(shí)驗(yàn)（即風(fēng)洞實(shí)驗(yàn)）是設(shè)計(jì)的往返系統(tǒng)（即航天飛機(jī)）的重要組成部分。 本實(shí)驗(yàn)中使用的模型形狀復(fù)雜，精度高且具有流線型的特征。  RP技術(shù)通過RP設(shè)備根據(jù)CAD模型自動(dòng)完成實(shí)體模型，從而可以保證模型的質(zhì)量。

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.
