Rapid Prototyping

(OP)
Hi Everybody,

I was just wondering whether it's possible to use thermosetting plastic (epoxy for example) as a base material for rapid prototyping. If it's possible, then how are you going to deal with the curing process of the thermoset?

Thank you for your replies!

RE: Rapid Prototyping

Hypothetically possible, or as a substitute for the material that the current generation of 3D printers are designed to use?

RE: Rapid Prototyping

I understand that this is possible with a one part epoxy using a UV cure.

MechEng8246,

Why not call a vendor?

RE: Rapid Prototyping

Why not call Quickstep with their rapid cure process.
