Rapid Prototyping Technology Applications In The Fuse

Rapid prototyping is an advanced forming and processing technology that is followed with interesting by researchers and manufacturers in recent years. Now, rapid prototyping has been applied in the R&D and production domain of auto, aviation, war industry and so on, this paper had researched that how to apply rapid prototyping to the fuze industry in detail.This paper had impenetrated Rapid prototyping into the every phase of fuse's R&D period. According to the characteristics of the fuse industry and the research condition, We applied ZPrinter310 system to produce the fuze prototypes and used these prototypes to help design in the project argumentation phase, got the final project; Then we applied AFS-320 rapid prototyping system to produce the noumenon, analyzed the noumenon's precision, surface quality and performance of material mechanics in detail, based on these analytic results, we considered to use the noumenon in the fuze local performance test and some laboratory experimentations; At last we discussed how to combine the rapid tooling and precision foundry to produce batch of samples, we can apply these samples in the fuze system and ball cartridge experimentation.In this paper we provided a new manufactural method to the fuze industry , I hope it will give some help to the fuze industry..
