| Abstract: | New
products must be more quickly and cheaply developed, manufactured and
introduced to the market due to the pressure of global competition. This work
demonstrates a technique for producing accurate wax patterns made from a high
precision silicone rubber mold. Silicone rubber mold is cut into five
components, which is the minimum number of components for assembling the
silicone rubber mold. The advantages of this silicone rubber mold include savings
in assembly time, reduction of human error while assembling the silicone rubber
mold and good assembly precision. The shrinkage of critical dimensions can be
controlled within 2.19%. Results reported here can speed up the velocity in the
development of a new cylinder head in the motorcycle industry. |
