Abstract: In order to offer better support for the rapid product
development of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) , a networked
service system of rapid prototyping and manufacturing is researched and
developed. A novel framework of networked service system is presented.
Its workflow and detailed functional modules are discussed. The key
technologies of implementing the system are described in detail. The
service system that includes the technology information platform,
E-commerce platform, and manufacturing service platform provides a
collaborative production environment for users and service bureaus and
enables the share of manufacturing resource. A number of case studies
have shown that the system promises a high potential to speed up the
product development of SMEs. As a result, the implementation of such a
system will represent a fundamental shift of enterprise strategy and
manufacturing paradigms in organization.
