Abstract

Techniques that manufacture parts by additive methods (by gradually adding solid material) are classified as rapid prototyping. Rapidprototyping has revolutionized prototyping with a key difference from conventional methods – supstractive methods. Overall process of new product development includes the prototype as an integral part of product engineering design. The prototype is a preliminary version of the final product and its purpose is to test or analyze the principles of operation as well as design evaluation. Using 3D printing (3DP) technology for prototyping significantly reduces production time and costs. Previously faced limitations by engineers, regarding tools which are available to them, are overcame with use of 3D printers. In this paper, the focus will be on CAD design, rapid prototyping (RP) of small wind turbine. Also, the paper generates prototypes from real material, using 3DP technologies and laboratory tests, that is determination of power on the turbine shaft.
