This workshop will encompass & highlight the various technologies available for Rapid Product Development including

RAPID PROTOTYPING & MANUFACTURING
This will introduce the participants to the world of Rapid technologies with discussions on the various engineering techniques including laser, optical scanning, resin material development, polymer material extrusion and deposition, powder metallurgy, computer control, etc.

Rapid prototypes can be used for design verification, product evaluation, production process analysis, and fabrication of tooling for manufacture, resulting significant saving in product development lead-time and bettering competitive edge of the company.


The workshop would focus on the various prototyping technologies such as
- Stereolithography [ SLA ]
- Selective Laser Sintering [ SLS ]
- Fused Deposition Modeling [ FDM ]
- Laminated Object Modeling [ LOM ]
- Inkjet Deposition etc

RAPID TOOLING
Rapid Tooling (RT) is the result of combining Rapid Prototyping techniques with conventional tooling practices to produce parts of a functional nature from electronic CAD data in less time and at a lower cost relative to traditional
machining methods. Only when the production quantity is massive that the expensive tooling cost can be well justified. As a result, the way of how to produce tooling quicker and more economically especially for small batch manufacturing becomes a big issue Furthermore, in the product development cycle, there is always in need of some intermediate tooling to produce a small quantity of prototypes or working samples for marketing, functional test, or production process design and evaluation purpose. In this respect, RT becomes more and more important to nowadays manufacturing industry. Examples of various technologies in rapid tooling will demonstrate impact on manufacturing & design costs.

REVERSE ENGINEERING
Unlike forward engineering where the development starts from Concept to Product, Reverse Engineering focuses on technology where the emphasis is to capture information from an existing product to develop a 3D model. This workshop will address many methods of scanning and capturing data from an existing object. Focus will be on the three most popular portable methods : touch probe, laser & optical.. Brief overview will also be provided on reverse engineering in the following areas.

- Medical/CT.
- Tooling & Part Verification.
- Design Engineering Applications.
