Aim(s) of Course : Rapid Product Development (RPD) is a culture of manufacture which promotes the development of new products, from design to manufacture, in the shortest timescales possible. The utilization of Rapid Product Development Technologies not only allows putting new products into manufacture in short timescales, it also reduces the development costs for new products. This lecture includes the following topics; Rapid Prototyping (RP), Reverse Engineering (RE), Rapid Manufacturing (RM), Rapid Tooling (RT), Virtual Prototyping (VP) and High Speed Machining (HSM).

Course Contents : Product Design, Rapid Product Development (RPD), Rapid Product Development Technologies, Rapid Prototyping (RP), Reverse Engineering (RE), Rapid Manufacturing (RM), Rapid Tooling (RT), Virtual Prototyping (VP) and High Speed Machining (HSM).

Language of Instruction : English

Work Place : Derslik, Laboratuvar,
