Rapid Prototyping and

Research users need full access to the functional elements of the spectrometer system and require the most efficient and flexible tools for MR sequence and application development. If the measurement methods delivered with the software do not adequately address the specific investigational requirements of a research team, modem NMR software is an open architecture for implementing new and more sophisticated functionality, with full direct access to all hardware controlling parameters. After evaluation, the new functionality can be developed with the help of toolbox functions that allow rapid prototyping and final builds, to enable the new sequence to be executed by non-experienced personnel and then used in routine applications. These toolboxes provide application oriented definitions and connect to standard mechanisms and routine interfaces, such as the geometry editor, configuration parameters or spectrometer adjustments. 

Since this book is focussed on chemorheological processes, we will focus on rapid prototyping and manufacturing processes that include reactive processing (mther than the rapid-prototyping techniques involving only physical transformations, i.e. sintering of metals, ceramics or thermoplastics).

The competitiveness of materials is influenced to a considerable degree by how much time is required to produce prototypes rapid prototyping) and tooling techniques rapid tooling). The integration of rapid engineering with simultaneous engineering (CAD, CAE, CIM, TQM. ..) is now considered the state of the art. A further opportunity is presented by the continued intensive development of products suitable for inmold assembly techniques.

Web portal facilitates interactionbetween customers and three competency networks engineering services, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing. Participating SMEs benefit from cooperating with others in the network, as their combined competencies provide competitive advantage. Harrison and van Hoek (2005) describe a district portal initiative which assists more than 100 small companies in the Macerata shoe district of Italy with B2B relationships and order management. 

There must be tools permitting rapid prototyping and testing, therefore paving the way for commercial production.
