RP types

The last class we exposed about some of the different types of rapid prototyping such as:

• Fused Deposition Model

• Stereolitography

• Laminated Object Manufacturing

• Low cost
  The model is made out of paper
  In this process they use a glue
  The model must be sealed in order to avoid moisturizing
  This process is not as accurate as the others
  
• Open hard Ware
  This is a social movement
  You can built this machine in your house
  “low cost”
  The materials that you can use are: chocolate, ceramics, silicone, polyurethane, sugar and thermoplastics.

• Rapid Manufacturing process
  In this process the materials are fused
  Plastic, ceramic, glass
  The machine uses a laser
  The peaces are really strong and durable
  You can built metal parts
