Abstract

Now a day s , one of the critical factors in competitive technology is “time to market” along with full proof design. This critical factor indicates the entire product design cycle from concept to product design to prototype to manufacturing process design to actual implementation. To have command over this critical factor Computer aided designing (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) is taking hold as a mean of speeding the time to market for new product development. The CAD approach is used in Rapid Prototyping techniques (RPT) for design and development of new products. Use of thi s CAD techniques in RPT techniques shorten the time to market and further for research and development of time of new products. In this seminar we are going to discuss about the conversion of CT scan or MRI results which are taken as input and then convert ed in to CAD file then analyze those files with the help of CAM software then production that product with rapid prototyping. Medical applications are some of the most interesting applications of the rapid prototyping technologies. These technologies are a ble to produce a physical model of the anatomic structures. This model is very useful for diagnosis, surgery planning, training, and for design and manufacture of the custom implants & we are also going to discuss about the rapid prototyping techniques.
