This turnkey technology source provides an introduction to rapid prototyping and manufacturing (RP&M) with an emphasis on stereolithography which represents the majority of all rapid prototyping systems currently in place. The content is based on theory, analysis and experiment with extensive test data, including select case studies from the automotive, simultaneous engineering, and medical sectors.

About the Author
Paul Jacobs was born in New York City, received a B.S. from Union College, Schenectady, NY in 1960, and M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. from Princeton University. His dissertation, completed in 1965, involved nonequilibrium phenomena in plasma physics. At Electro-optical Systems Division of Xerox Corporation, California, he was a senior physicist working initially on plasma accelerators and later on laser-based optical systems. One of the originators of the MILES tactical training system currently deployed by the U.S. Army at over 50 bases in the United States, Eruope, and Asia, he was appointed Chief Scientist 1985.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The Original Rapid Prototyping Text,
By Kent (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing: Fundamentals of Stereolithography (Hardcover)
This book is widely considered to be the original rapid prototyping text for the relatively young RP industry. Charles Hull, Dr. Jacobs, and the other authors do a good job taking the reader through the developmental stages of Stereolithography and give valuable insight into the system design and process development of the SLA system. Other highlights include an informative chapter on SLA part accuracy, specific case studies from early users of the technology, and decent coverage of competing technologies.(circa 1991) Some of the information is outdated due to the developments in RP over the past nine years, but it is still a valuable reference tool for any student of the rapid prototyping industry.
3.0 out of 5 stars
