Abstract In order to build the complex built-in labyrinth design of an emitter which is a key element in water-saving devices, rapid prototyping and manufacturing (RP and M) is used to design the emitters and to manufacture corresponding rapid tooling (RT). Detailed CAD design of the emitter. CAD process design, and the generation of RT process modelling of the emitter have been carried out using parameterised design. Prototypes have been built using RP techniques to perform the rapid verification and modification of the emitter design; rapid tooling (RT) for the emitter has been fabricated using a metal spraying process to carry out trial-production. Finally, with the fabrication of a precision mould as the basis, emitter mould design and manufacturing have been completed. As a result, the integration of design/verification/manufacturing of a mould and its products is realised. [References: 10] (Auth abstract) XX
