摘要
The development of a number of different rapid prototyping (RP) technologies with wide-ranging capabilities, features and applications has created a problem of selecting an appropriate RP system for engineering educational institutions as well as manufacturing organisations intending to adopt this new technology. This paper presents an IRIS Rapid Prototyping System Selector (IRPS) for selection of a rapid prototyping system from among a wide range of RP systems commercially available from the RP manufacturers worldwide. The search routines give access to a large database built on entity relationship techniques to enable fast retrieval of information. The system is designed to be user-friendly, flexible and expandable, and can also be used as an educational tool for RP systems education due to its large information base on each specific RP machine.
