Rapid tooling system and methods for manufacturing abrasive articles

摘要

A method of facilitating abrasive article manufacturing includes providing a rapid tooling system (500) to a consumer and providing a cartridge to the consumer. The cartridge (506) has a cartridge body, a first binder and first abrasive particles. The cartridge is configured to operate as part of the rapid tooling system and is operable to deposit the first binder and the first abrasive particles in successive patterned layers to form an abrasive structure.
