Rapid prototyping is a manufacturing process which is different to traditional methods as material is not removed or formed but added to obtain the designed pieces. It is not just used for manufacturing finished products but in manufacturing tooling for speeding up other manufacturing processes. This paper introduces rapid prototyping as a support technique for the lost wax process (investment casting). It gives a brief description of the different techniques implemented to date and materials used for making articles as part of the lost wax process.
Siendo el prototipado rápido un método de fabricación diferente de los tradicionales en que no remueve o deforma material sino que lo agrega para obtener las piezas que se han diseñado, es utilizado no solamente en la fabricación de productos terminados sino también en la elaboración de herramientas para agilizar diferentes procesos de manufactura. Este artículo introduce el prototipado rápido como técnica de apoyo al proceso de microfundición. Se hace una descripción corta de las diferentes técnicas que se han implementado hasta el momento y los materiales que sirven para elaborar los artículos de las diversas etapas del proceso en las que prototipado rápido interviene.
