Hello Everyone:
We've just completed a major new section of the Worldwide Guide to Rapid Prototyping web-site.
Rapid Manufacturing, the use of additive fabrication technology to directly produce useable products or parts - is what RP will be when it grows up. Learn about the myriad developments going on today - and their enormous potential to entwine additive fabrication into almost every field, and every human life tomorrow. This is the most comprehensive information available anywhere today on this important new subject and covers the following topics:
- Advantages and Disadvantages
- Market Potential
- Technologies for rapid manufacturing
- Applications of RM, including: Tooling Industrial Applications Biological, Biomedical and Chemistry Transportation / Aerospace / Marine / Automotive Architecture and Construction Military Weapons and Parts Medical Sports Consumer Items Electronics Photonics Advanced Materials
- Challenges, Barriers & Research Directions
This new section has also been linked extensively to rest of the material on the site to provide a quick and convenient way of drilling down deeply into any topic. Use the link on the front page to visit this new section or any of the other navigation features on the site.
