Jeng, S.-C. Peng, C.-J. Chou] Non-metallic rapid prototyping has been successfully applied in several industries, but a metal rapid prototype is required for functional prototypes and tooling applications. A metal rapid prototype fabricated using selective laser cladding is presented in this paper. Laser cladding is one type of laser surface treatment process. During this process, an alloy is fused onto the surface of a substrate. Laser cladding devices, i.e. powder feeder, CNC workstation table, laser shutter, and shielding gas controller, were integrated to make automatically any cladding profile possible. The metal prototype was then fabricated layer by layer. This is called the selective laser cladding system (SLC). The fabrication of the metal rapid prototype using SLC technology is described and the detailed design and construction of the SLC is presented in this paper.: Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2000 Keywords: Laser material processing nationallicence Rapid prototyping nationallicence Jeng J.-Y Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, TW aut Peng S.-C Su-Wei Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, TW aut Chou C.-J Taiwan Plastic Company, I-Nan, Taiwan, TW aut https://doi.org/10.1007/s001700070039 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s001700070039 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Jeng J.-Y Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, TW aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Peng S.-C Su-Wei Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, TW aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Chou C.-J Taiwan Plastic Company, I-Nan, Taiwan, TW aut Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
