Continuous improvement of the application level of RP technology is an important aspect to promote the development of RP technology. At present, rapid prototyping technology has been widely used in industrial modeling, mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, military, architecture, film and television, household appliances, light industry, medicine, archaeology, culture and art, sculpture, jewelry and other fields. With the development of this technology, its application will continue to expand. The practical application of RP technology mainly concentrates on the following aspects:

　?。?）在新产品设计过程中的应用快速原型技术为工业产品设计和开发人员建立了全新的产品开发模型。 使用RP技术可以将设计思想快速，直接，准确地转换为具有一定功能的物理模型（样本），不仅缩短了开发周期，而且降低了开发成本，也使企业在激烈的市场竞争中占据了首位。 机。

　　(1) The application of rapid prototyping technology in the process of new product design establishes a brand-new product development model for industrial product designers and developers. Using RP technology, the design idea can be quickly, directly and accurately transformed into a physical model (sample) with certain functions, which not only shortens the development cycle, but also reduces the development cost, and also makes enterprises occupy the first place in the fierce market competition. Aircraft.

　?。?）在机械制造领域中的应用由于RP技术的特性，它已在机械制造领域中被广泛使用，并且用于制造单件和小批量金属零件。 由于单件生产或少于50个小批量，一些特殊而复杂的零件可以通过RP技术直接形成，成本低，周期短。

　　(2) Because of the characteristics of RP technology, it has been widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing, and used to manufacture single and small batch metal parts. Because of single production or less than 50 small batches, some special and complex parts can be directly formed by RP technology, with low cost and short cycle.

　?。?）快速模具制造传统模具生产时间长，成本高。 快速成型技术与传统模具制造技术的结合可以大大缩短模具制造的开发周期，提高生产率，是解决模具设计与制造薄弱环节的有效途径。 快速成型技术在模具制造中的应用可分为直接成型和间接成型。 直接成型是指通过RP技术直接积累模具。 间接成型是生产快速成型零件，然后复制它们。 获得所需的模具。

　　(3) Rapid tooling has a long production time and high cost. The combination of rapid prototyping technology and traditional die manufacturing technology can greatly shorten the development cycle of die manufacturing and improve productivity. It is an effective way to solve the weak links of die design and manufacturing. The application of rapid prototyping technology in die manufacturing can be divided into direct prototyping and indirect prototyping. Direct forming refers to the direct accumulation of molds through RP technology. Indirect prototyping is to first produce rapid prototyping parts and then copy them. Get the required die.

　?。?）在医疗领域的应用近年来，人们对RP技术在医疗领域的应用进行了更多的研究。 基于医学图像数据，利用RP技术制作人体器官模型具有很大的手术应用价值。

　　(4) In recent years, people have done more research on the application of RP technology in medical field. Based on medical image data, RP technology has great application value in human organ models.

　　（5）在文化艺术领域的应用在文化艺术领域，快速原型制造技术主要用于艺术创作，文物复制，数字雕塑等。

　　(5) In the field of culture and art, rapid prototyping manufacturing technology is mainly used in artistic creation, cultural relics reproduction, digital sculpture and so on.

　?。?）在航空航天技术中的应用在航空航天领域，空气动力学地面模拟实验（即风洞实验）是设计的往返系统（即航天飞机）的重要组成部分。 本实验中使用的模型形状复杂，精度高且具有流线型的特征。  RP技术通过RP设备根据CAD模型自动完成实体模型，从而可以保证模型的质量。

　　(6) The application of aerospace technology in aerospace field. Aerodynamic ground simulation experiment (wind tunnel experiment) is an important part of designing advanced world-class shuttle system (space shuttle). The model used in this experiment has complex shape, high precision and streamlined characteristics. RP technology can automatically complete entity model according to CAD model by RP equipment, so as to ensure the quality of model.

　　（7）在家电行业中的应用目前，快速成型系统已经在家电行业中得到了广泛的应用和应用，使许多家电企业处于全国前列。 一些公司已经采用快速原型系统来开发新系统。 该产品收到了很好的效果。 快速成型技术被广泛使用，并且据信随着快速成型制造技术的成熟和改进，它将在越来越多的领域中得到推广和应用。

　　(7) At present, rapid prototyping system has been widely used and applied in household appliances industry, making many household appliances enterprises in the forefront of the country. Some companies have adopted rapid prototyping systems to develop new systems. The product has achieved good results. Rapid prototyping technology is widely used, and it is believed that with the maturity and improvement of rapid prototyping manufacturing technology, it will be popularized and applied in more and more fields.
