Abstract

Rapid prototyping being one of the most novel manufacturing techniques is chosen as the field of study due to its wide range of applications such as in the consumer products, automotive, aerospace and medical industries. To increase the processing efficiency of the prototype fabrication, optimization of the orientation, is required. The surface roughness, production time, and support area are taken as the parameters for the optimization. Particle swarm optimization algorithm was carried out and the results were verified by the fabrication of the part. Thus the prototype development is attained by the increase in processing efficiency and decrease in the cost. The prototype development increases visualization capability during the early phases of design and useful in detecting errors in previous design to rectify. In the present highly competitive market, project cost and risk is reduced drastically.
