Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein Rapid prototyping Rapid manufacturing Product development Cost modelling Published Article At Helsinki University of Technology rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and rapid manufacturing technologies and applications have been researched since late 1980s. The Integrated Design and Manufacturing research group has concentrated on new industrial Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (RP&M) applications within product development and manufacturing. This paper is based on research projects realized in 2001 - 2004 in cooperation with several industrial companies. New developments within industrial product development paradigms and processes will be discussed. The paper attempts to link current industrial management sciences research with latest developments within rapid manufacturing technologies. Product platforms, product customization and networked manufacturing have become common product development management paradigms in many industrial sectors. These paradigms have lead to an increasing number of product configurations and variations. Traditionally cost comparisons between RP&M processes and conventional manufacturing processes have been based on break even point calculations. The latest product development and manufacturing paradigms places agility in production and efficient prototyping technologies among others in an important role. Conventional cost per part comparison methods to value rapid manufacturing need to be re-engineered. In those comparisons the first break even point does not describe the overall rapid manufacturing economy. For example, effects of neccesity for product change, tool wear or tool defect have to be taken into consideration. In this paper the new cost modeling technology and some industrial case studies will be described. 2015-09-18T10:30:35Z 2015-09-18T10:30:35Z 2006 2006 Article 16844998 http://hdl.handle.net/11462/493 en_US Journal for New Generation Sciences;Vol 4, Issue 1 Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein 154 334 bytes, 1 file Application/PDF Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 4, Issue 1: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein |
