| Abstract: | Layered manufacturing enables us to make 3D objects rapidly and directly from 3D-CAD data and enables us to handle any design changes. But materials such as light cured polymers, paper, or wax don’t have enough strength to be used directly as mechanical parts. In order to solve such problems, layered manufacturing using both sheet metal and polymers is proposed in this paper. By using sheet metal and polymers, high strength parts with high dumping functions, suitable for use as mechanical parts can be manufactured. Also, a special unit for layered manufacturing is developed, which is designed to be coupled with a desktop NC milling machine, and can make 3D objects easily. |
