A SURRVEY REGARDING RAPID PROTOTYPING PROCESSES APPLICATIONS IN ROBOTICS
Diana POPESCU, Adrian Florin NICOLESCU
Abstract: The present survey is focused on the use of RP processes in robotics and the perspectives in this area. In the first part of the article, the general characteristics of the most important layered manufacturing processes are presented and analyzed, and then significant researches in RP applications in robotics are summarized. The advantages offered by RP processes in robotics will refers mainly to the possibility to build multi-materials parts and non-assembly mechanisms, parts with insertion, and to check the mechanisms and interferences between joints.
Key words: rapid prototyping, rapid manufacturing, robotics, mechanisms.
