This paper presents industrial applications of the Rapid Prototyping (RP) / Rapid Manufacturing (RM) techniques, developed at the Industrial Innovative Technologies Laboratory (Manufacturing Engineering Department from Transilvania University of Braşov) within the PLADETINO (Platform for Innovative Technological Development) interdisciplinary platform.
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) can be effectively applied for fabricating test models used in aerodynamic experimental investigations. One of the most popular AMT used worldwide is 3D printing (3DP). 3D printing technologies can be divided in the following groups: inkjet printing, fused deposition modelling and polyjet. The present work is focused on applications of polyjet technology for manufacturing wind tunnel test models.
