From the Publisher:
The astonishing speed and time-to-market advantages of rapid automated prototyping (also known as desktop manufacturing or toolless modeling) are so compelling that the process is in wide use in the automotive, aerospace, and medical fields, and it is expected to spread throughout the manufacturing world. This is the first book to explain this exciting new technology fully. In Rapid Automated Prototyping, Lamont Wood provides the reader with full descriptions of each technique including stereolithography, selective laser sintering, fused deposition, and lamination, and he explores all of the available hardware and software that make this remarkable process possible. Illustrated with photographs of existing systems, this book provides a state-of-the-art examination of this technology of the future that is revolutionizing the field of engineering design.
