Modelling and Rapid Prototyping of Centrifugal Pump Impeller Based on UG
Abstract
The 3D model of centrifugal pump impeller in Unigraphics (UG) was optimized by implementing the principles of NURBS curve interpolation. The impeller was then manufactured by rapid prototyping equipment using polystyrene. The technique improves the efficiency in innovative design, modification, and fabrication.
