Abstract: | Two sets of optical sources with different laser beam diameter are integrated into a rapid prototyping system for increased
machining speed in this research. The smaller laser beam is used to scan the object contour to obtain an accurate machining
surface and the larger laser beam is used to quickly scan the inner part of the contour without precision control limitation
to save machining time. The fabrication parameters of this system are investigated based on product quality and accuracy of
practical implementations. The path planning of the inner part and the outer contour are discussed. The user-friendly man-machine
interface is developed using the Visual Basic program . |
