Additive Fabrication, Rapid Prototyping, and Metal
Fabrication along with techniques for Additive Fabrication.

Additive fabrication can be defined as an assortment of
techniques of making solid objects through the chronological delivery of
material and/or energy to specific points in the space for production of that
solid. Additive fabrication is also known as solid freeform fabrication,
layered manufacturing, rapid manufacturing, and rapid prototyping.

 

Techniques: Additive fabrication is carried
out using a number of techniques. Let some of them be studied in detail.

Prototyping
History and the process of Rapid Prototyping is discussed along with a long
explanation of the history of rapid prototyping.

Rapid prototyping is a revolutionary and powerful technology
with wide range of applications. The process of prototyping involves quick
building up of a prototype or working model for the purpose of testing the
various design features, ideas, concepts, functionality, output and
performance. The user is able to give immediate feedback regarding the
prototype and its performance. Rapid prototyping is essential part of the
process of system designing and it is believed to be quite beneficial as far as
reduction of project cost and risk are concerned.
