Rapid prototyping systems allow the engineer to develop a prototype directly from a CAD design within minutes orhours instead of the days or weeks it might otherwise take to create a prototype part.

RAPID PROTOTYPINGRAPID PROTOTYPINGTRANSLATING THE MODELTRANSLATING THE MODEL
Today’s major rapid prototyping systems all work on a similar principle: they slicethe CAD model into thin layers, then create the model, layer by layer, from a materialthat can be fused to the next layer until the entire part is realized.
To send a CAD file to most rapid prototyping systems, often you export a file in the STL ( stereolithography) file format.

MATERIAL SELECTIONMATERIAL SELECTION
Standard shapes are often used in materials testing to make it easier to compare results. (Courtesy of Clive Streeter © Dorling Kindersley.)
• Ferrous metals: carbon, alloy, stainless, and tool and die steels.
• Nonferrous metals: aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, titanium, superalloys, refractory metals, beryllium, zirconium, low-melting alloys, and precious metals.
• Plastics: thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers.
• Ceramics: glass ceramics, glasses, graphite, diamond, and diamond-like materials.
• Composite materials: reinforced plastics, metal-matrix and ceramic-matrix composites. These are also known as engineered materials.
• Nanomaterials: shape-memory alloys, amorphous alloys, superconductors, and various other materials with unique properties.
The following are the general types of materials used in manufacturing today, either individually or in combination:

PROPERTIES OF MATERIALSPROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
General Manufacturing Characteristics of Various Alloys
Manufacturing properties of materials determine whether they can be cast, formed, machined, welded, and heat treated with relative ease
Methods used to process materials to the desired shapes can adversely affect the product’s final properties, service life, and cost.

COST AND AVAILABILITY OF COST AND AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS APPEARANCE, MATERIALS APPEARANCE,
SERVICE LIFE, AND RECYCLINGSERVICE LIFE, AND RECYCLING
Cost and availability of raw and processed materials and manufactured components are major concerns in manufacturing. Competitively, the economic aspects of material selection are as important as the technological considerations of properties and characteristics of materials.
The appearance of materials after they have been manufactured into products influences their appeal to the consumer.
Time- and service-dependent phenomena such as wear, fatigue, creep, and dimensional stability are important.
Recycling or proper disposal of materials at the end of their useful service lives has become increasingly important in an age when we are more conscious of preserving resourcesand maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

PROCESSING METHODSPROCESSING METHODSThe broad categories of processing methods for materials are:
• Casting
• Forming and Shaping
• Machining
• Joining
• Finishing
Selecting a particular manufacturing process, or a series of processes, depends not only on the shape to be produced but also on many other factors pertaining to material properties.

DIMENSIONAL ACCURACYDIMENSIONAL ACCURACYAND SURFACE FINISHAND SURFACE FINISH
Ultraprecision manufacturing techniques and machinery are now being developed and are coming into more common use. For machining mirrorlike surfaces, for example, the cutting tool is a very sharp diamond tip, and the equipment hasvery high stiffness and must be operated in a room where the temperature is controlled within 1°C. Highly sophisticated techniques such as molecular-beam epitaxy and scanningtunneling microscopy are being implemented to obtain accuracies on the order of the atomic lattice 0.1 nm.

MEASURING DEVICES USEDMEASURING DEVICES USEDIN MANUFACTURINGIN MANUFACTURING
Although the machinist uses variousmeasuring devices depending on the kindof dimensions (fractional, decimal, or metric) shown on the drawing, to dimension correctly, the engineering designer must have a working knowledge of common measuring tools.
Most measuring devices in manufacturing are adjustable so they can be used for a range of measurements, but some measuring devices are designed to be used for only one particular dimension.

OPERATIONALOPERATIONALAND MANUFACTURING COSTSAND MANUFACTURING COSTS
The design and cost of tooling, the lead time required to begin production, andthe effect of workpiece material on tool and die life are major considerations.Depending on its size, shape, and expected life, the cost of tooling can be substantial. For example, a set of steel dies for stamping sheet metal fenders for automobiles may cost about $2 million.

MANUFACTURING METHODS MANUFACTURING METHODS AND THE DRAWINGAND THE DRAWING
In designing a part, consider what materials and manufacturing processes are to be used. These processes will determine the representation of the detailed features of the part, the choice of dimensions, and the machining or processing accuracy. Theprincipal methods of metal forming are:
• Casting• Machining from standard stock• Welding• Forming from sheet stock• Forging

The increasing need for precision manufacturing and interchangeabilityhas shifted responsibility for size control to the design engineer or detail drafter.
Practices for dimensioning architecturaland structural drawings are similarin many ways to those for dimensioningmanufactured parts, but some practicesdiffer.

MILLIMETER VALUESMILLIMETER VALUES
The millimeter is the commonly used unit for most metric engineering drawings. One-place millimeter decimals are used when tolerance limits permit. Two (or more)–place millimeter decimals are used when higher tolerances are required.

DECIMAL-INCH VALUESDECIMAL-INCH VALUESTwo-place inch decimals are typical when tolerance limits permit. Three or more decimal places are used for tolerance limits in the thousandths of an inch. In two-place decimals, the second place preferably should be an even digit.

RULES FOR DIMENSION VALUESRULES FOR DIMENSION VALUESGood hand-lettering is important for dimension values on sketches. The shop produces according to the directions on the drawing so to save time and prevent costly mistakes, make all lettering perfectly legible.
Make all decimal points bold, allowing ample space. When the metric dimension is a whole number, do not show either a decimal point or a zero. When the metric dimension is less than 1 mm, a zero precedes the decimal point.
When the decimal-inch dimension is used on drawings, a zero is not used before the decimal point of values less than 1 in.
