Research Equipment Grant: Rapid Prototyping Directly from aNon-Uniform Rational B-Spline Based Solid Modeling System

这项研究设备补助金的目的是购买 一台光固化快速成型机和必要的 附件. 该设备将用于几个 研究工作，特别强调（1）快速原型 直接从基于非均匀有理B样条的实体造型 系统，以及（2）基于交互式图形的计算机辅助设计 三维修改与自动验证 物体使用激光扫描数据。 该设备将有助于完成一项研究 该计划导致开发一个测试平台， 演示如何以电子方式弥合设计与 快速原型制造。

The objective of this research equipment grant is to purchase a stereolithography rapid prototyping machine and necessary accessories. The equipment will be used for several research efforts with special emphasis on (1) rapid prototyping directly from a non-uniform rational B-spline based solid modeling systems, and (2) computer-aided design based interactive graphics modification and automatic verification of three dimensional objects using laser scanning data. The equipment will facilitate the completion of a research program resulting in the development of a testbed that will demonstrate how to electronically bridge the gap between design and manufacturing for the production of rapid prototypes.
