This book examines the latest innovations and advances in this fast changing technology. Exploring how product development teams implement new "desktop manufacturing" concepts, it demonstrates improved, faster methods to visualize parts, build solid objects with high precision results, and save thousands of dollars on prototyping and tooling. Stereolithography and Other RP and M Technologies presents the principles, advantages and drawbacks of RP processes including stereolithography, laminated object manufacturing, selective laser sintering, sintering, fused deposition modelling, and solid ground curing. Includes: * Clear presentations of advances in materials, BBware, software, part accuracy, and surface finish, soft tooling applications. * Descriptions of direct shell investment casting for RP patterns. * Information on developments in soft and rapid tooling.

3.0 out of 5 stars
All you need to know about SLA,
By Hannu Kaikonen (Lahti , Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stereolithography and Other Rp&m Technologies: From Rapid Prototyping to Rapid Tooling (Hardcover)
Introduction gives a short descriptions about all (at that time) available RP systems, unfortunately only text, no pics. But, if you're looking for info on SLA and how to use it, this is a book for you. Stereolithography as a method is clearly described (almost in too detalied level) -how it's done, what happens in the process, materials and all. It's all there. Book also describes various applications based on this process. Good reading if you're interested in SLA, but if you're looking for general info on RP&M, this may be a bit too heavily concentrated on SLA for your needs.
