Abstract: Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern
technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing
cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D
printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a
laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation
involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer phenomena,
carried out with finite element method, tested the good functional
characteristics of the whole laser medical device.
