基于LOM工艺的汽车除霜管原型的快速制造

Rapid Prototyping of Automotive Defrosting Pipe Based on Laminated Object Manufacturing Technology

针对快速原型技术中的LOM工艺不适合于制作薄壁件这一实际问题,对用户提供的用Euclid软件导出的IGES格式的表面模型(该模型既不封闭,也没有厚度,不适合RP工艺制作.因此,需要对模型作进一步处理,使之转化成RP系统能够接受的STL格式文件),给出了一套运用DELCAM软件进行处理的行之有效的方法.

Considering the problem that it is not fit for Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) technology to be used for making thin-shelled part, in this paper, a method of processing the surface model in IGES format, which is exported through Euclid software provided by clients, is presented and described. Not only is the model unclosed, but also its thickness equals to zero. It must be further processed so that the model can be transformed to STL format file that can be accepted by RP system.
