In order to ieduce the lead-time and cost, many useful methods have been applied to Rapid Prototyping (RP) in iecent years But cutting process is still considered as one of the effective RP methods that have been developed and curiently avariable in the industry It also offers practical advantages in aspects of precision and versatility. However, traditional 3-axis NC machining has some inherent limitations such as the restriction of tool accessibility and the complex setup In this work, a new rapid prototyping system with high speed 5-axis machining of plastics has been developed to overcome those limitations And cutting experiments were conducted to determine the design factors of the system and the cutting conditions of plastics The architecture of developed system is described in detail and the successful application examples are presented
