Lynda - Rapid Prototyping for Product Design with Gabriel Corbett

Link:

Description:

Rapid prototyping takes your designs out of the computer and into the real world, but choosing the right process is critical to success. Join product designer Gabriel Corbett for a tour of the most popular rapid-prototyping methods, straight from the workshop floor. This course includes first-hand looks at the machinery and techniques behind 3D printing, machining, resin casting, injection molding, 2D prototyping, and laser scanning. After you watch this course, you'll have a solid understanding of the available prototyping processes, and knowledge of the machinery and tools to bring your product through the prototyping stage and into the real world.

Topics include:

3D printing parts, using fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, and selective laser sintering (FDM, SLA, and SLS)

Working with CNC mills and lathes

Building a silicon mold and resin casting a part

Injection molding a plastic part

Creating quick 2D models

Using laser and touch-probe scanners
