Many technological difficulties exist in the field of rapid prototyping (RP) technology when making large-scale prototypes. The manufacturing efficiency is the main problem, and the process implemention and RP equipment also present difficulties. In this paper, the concept of divisional parallel scan is presented. Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) technology is used for the basic forming process and has been improved continuously through practice. Static divisional scan technology was also better developed to dynamic divisional scan technology, which can help in achieving the object of improving work efficiency and optimising design.
