Název projektu:
Industrial product design and manufacturing by applying Rapid Prototyping technology and 3D visualization (11 HU 50S2 3KIQ)
Popis:
Hungarian SME developed an industrial product design and manufacturing technology and its methodology. It is based on rapid prototyping and 3D computer-aided design.
Its advantage is that it covers the whole range of product design and modelling activities from product idea through computer generated visualization to manufacturing from materials required.
The offer suits companies outsourcing their product design and seeking partners for development and adaptation to specific needs.

Požadavky na partnera:
The Hungarian design engineers have years of experience in tool engineering, tool making, design, small-scale manufacturing and project management. Their technological development and bid are based on the recognition that most manufacturing companies often struggle with their own product development. Complex structures of products or small-series production both indispensably require prototyping or modelling.
These two phases strongly influence the product development time, the reduction of which greatly contributes to lower costs of market entry in case of a new product.
The industrial product design technology and its methodology are typically offered to such companies that seek turnkey solutions for their product development ideas, but have neither a team of design engineers at their disposal nor 3D modelling capacities.
The product design technology consists of five elements that cover the entire chain of tasks from the idea of a new product to its manufacturing, but their specific combination or independent application is also possible.
1. Rapid prototyping (RPT)
2. Rapid Tooling (RT)
3. Rapid Manufacturing (RM)
4. Reverse Engineering (RE)
5. 3D scanning
RPT: Functional prototyping with 0.1 mm preciseness and 16 micron layer width.
The company is prepared to manufacture functional or visual prototypes with high accuracy in different material qualities and types (including metals: aluminium, brass, silver, stainless steel, cast iron). The technology employed is called Polyjet technology, using one-component resin. After having completed the prototype in resin, the final product can be made from any material required.
RPT is effective in the following fields:
- product visualization (designed object, products with complex mechanical engagement)
- functional prototype (pump impeller)
- production of a number of precision casting moulds used for precision moulding technologies
- toolmaking with metal dispersion
Rapid Tooling (RT)
With the 3D printing technology the tool is directly manufactured from CAD data. This technology enables the company to produce such small-series products that are suitable for functional and ergonomic tests. Major RT activities:
- Manufacturing fast moulding chills from RPT models,
- Manufacturing wax chills for precision moulding,
- Manufacturing small series metal, plastic and rubber-like parts.
A major feature of the offer is that it makes possible to prepare the model of even big-sized moulds cheaply and with high accuracy.
Rapid Manufacturing (RM) Manufacturing unique products in small series
It is known that small series products are more expensive than serial production due to the cost of tooling per product RM is the solution for this.
As the offer states, its main feature is offering customizable solutions, by producing unique products from different metals or plastics (e.g. luxury-end products; automotive interior design)
Reverse Engineering (RE),
RE makes digitization and optimization feasible in case of products, models, objects, or objects from nature that do not have CAD data. A new item reproduced on the computer can serve as a basis for further development. The offer includes steadily updated design software.
3D scanning
Customers expect - as a result of development - precise and duly fitting products or models. 3D scanning and digitalisation of the connecting parts serve as a starting point in such developments (e.g. a part of the car-body). Main application areas:
- Comparison and quality control between the manufactured finished product and the initial CAD data,
- Digital recording and archiving sculptures and old objects, for potential reproduction of them.
- 3D archiving of various objects, organisms for demonstration purposes in education.
- scanning large-sized products (outdoor sculptures, cars ; max 1m x 1m x 1m)
The essence of the recommended methodology is that based on product engineering experience it can offer solutions in the following cases:
- provides the sequence of application for certain engineering part elements
- provides connection to RPT production and
- determines the final production technology,
in order to optimize the quantity and quality output of the final product.
Innovative aspects:
- The developed methodology renders the professional execution of industrial goods engineering part-projects within valuable innovative projects possible
- A prototype can also be made using several types of materials (e.g. plastic + metal)
Advantages:
- The product development time is reduced,
- There is no need for a model used in traditional manufacturing technologies,
- It enables foundries to meet the expectations of unique and small series orders economically,
- In the early stages of product development a model can be made that is suitable for functional tests,
- Optimal price / performance ratio product can be produced.
Degree of development:
Patents/Rights: Others
Requested Cooperation: Joint further development, Adaptation to specific needs
- Type of partner sought: Manufacturer of industrial products with an objective of product development.
- Specific area of activity of the partner: Companies in the automotive, plastics, engineering industries or precision foundries.
- Task to be performed by the partner sought: Partner in extending the scope of applications, partner in joint product development.
