Abstract

This paper in its theoretical part presents basic and advanced methods of Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology with a special focus on Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) method used by authors on Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies of Technical University of Košice with a seat in Prešov (Slovakia). Principles of FDM technology and materials used for production of models and products are described. Practical part of the paper describes development process of experimental gearbox from 3D modelling of particular parts, through the realization of gearbox assembly, to application of FDM technology for production of gearbox parts and final assembly of the product.
