Rapid Prototyping Will Shift to E-Manufacturing
According to EOS, e-manufacturing with such additive prototyping processes as laser-sintering will strongly compete with conventional technologies, such as casting, in the near future. E-manufacturing is one term being used to describe the process of … [Read more...] about Rapid Prototyping Will Shift to E-Manufacturing
Subtractive vs. Additive Prototyping
Building a wall out of bricks and creating a plastic part out of plastic layers are both additive processes. As such, they share several advantages. Both are relatively simple, inexpensive, and repetitive—brick is piled on brick; plastic layer is … [Read more...] about Subtractive vs. Additive Prototyping
