Implementation of polycarbonate material mechanical properties of rapid prototyping into system CREO, laboratory verification of the results

The article deals with specification and subsequent implementation of mechanical properties of a polycarbonate material used for functional prototypes produced by Rapid Prototyping based on input data from 3D models designed in CAD system CREO 2.0. The implementation of specific properties of material PC-10 for the printer FORTUS 360mc L in the CAD system will allow a more efficient use of Rapid Prototyping for production of functional prototype parts, because it will be possible to determine their strength characteristics at the design stage by the simulation model analysis.
