What is sheet lamination 3D printing?

May 20, 2020 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

One of the lesser known 3d printing technologies is sheet lamination, sometimes also known as laminated object manufacturing (LOM). It is considered additive because one sheet of material is bound to another, in a layer by layer process. Early … [Read more...] about What is sheet lamination 3D printing?
