Hybrid Tooling Using High Speed Cutting and Ceramic Filled SLA (StereoLithography Apparatuses) Technologies

Article Preview

Abstract:

Getting to the market first” is extremely critical in this competitive business environment. The speed at which products are developed and released to the market is tightly linked to profitability and market share. Many companies that have been very skeptical of Rapid Tooling technologies developed so far are now working on hybrid tooling (HT) that can really meet the market standards. This paper describes how the HT process has been successfully established and effectively applied with ceramic filled SLA (StereoLithography Apparatuses) technologies.
