A APLICABILIDADE DO SOFTWARE CAD SOLIDWORKS PARA DESENVOLVIMENTO E OBTENÇÃO DE UM PRODUTO PELOS PRINCIPAIS MÉTODOS DE PROTOTIPAGEM RÁPIDA

Abstract

This work evaluates the application of CAD (Computer and Design) tools for modeling / development of a 3D product, together with the application of major rapid prototyping technologies for part production, a process that aims to streamline and cheapen product development and projects. 3D modeling techniques and tools will be presented for SolidWorks software, tools that are capable of performing virtual and functional analysis in a number of cases. For product development in the design phase we will be using SolidWorks software which is a tool for developing 3D designs that can automatically create detailed drawings eliminating the time consuming process of creating, manipulating and maintaining the visualization of drawings. show the project from multiple angles and apply specific component details with just a few mouse clicks. For the development of the product we will use the main rapid prototyping technologies, which only need the file generated in SolidWorks to be saved to a specific extension to start the project execution, without having to generate the 2D drawings normally used by companies for manufacturing. parts and consequently making the stage of any development of a new product much faster and cheaper.
