In this paper, a large-scale RP system, MEM600-l, based on the melted extrusion manufacturing (MEM)process has been developed successfully. And the key issues to develop such a system are discussed. Based on theactual forming experiment, it is concluded that the MEM600-l works reliably and the forming efficiency is muchhigher than its parallel equipments.展开更多
