Design and Production of a Help Tool for Quick, Easy and Innovative Prototyping

Abstract

Thispaper describes a new tool developed in the IPSI laboratory (ENP of Oran) named(3 In 1). The latter was adopted as a powerful, easy and innovative tool andmade available to the designer more features. Our rapid prototyping tool, whichfrom a Computer-Aided Design file, corresponding to an object, allows you toquickly and easily visualize and generate a physical part on one of the labprinters. The validation was successfully completed .what makes (3 In 1) thefirst universal tool used ,aims to improve the field of prototyping in Algeriabased on 3D printers available in the lab and trying to pass creative ideas,imaginary to the real realization. In the context of the globalization ofincreasingly competitive markets and increasing reactivity on the part ofcompanies, a company wishing to maintain and / or acquire new market sharesmust ; control costs ; improve product and study quality ; reduce developmenttime (design and delivery) .To meet these critical success criteria, companiesneed to adapt their design process and al so take into account the emergence ofnew technologies. In this way, it becomes crucial for companies to have thetools to quickly materialize the products under development, in order tofacilitate the design and realization of all the different technical solutionschosen. This is the area of rapid prototyping research at the IPSI Laboratory.
