Abstract

The new technology of rapid prototyping (RP) has been developed to reduce product development time and the cost of manufacturing. The science of stream break-up into uniform droplets has attracted academic and industrial interest for application. Using this technology, the metal droplets can be generated flexibly and controlled precisely. Net-form manufacturing of components or ingots based on precisely controlled metal droplets is gaining industrial interest due to the promise of improved component quality resulting from rapid solidification processing and the economic benefits associated with a structural component in one integrated operation.
