     Becton Dickinson is an international company with a primary  focus on medical disposables and diagnostic equipment.  At our  Research Center we have a 3D Systems SLA-250.  We have been  using this machine for over four years to create prototype  parts for various divisions throughout the company.  Most of  our parts are small and therefore present problems with systems  having a large layer thickness.  We are currently running our  SLA-250 with CIBA SL5170 epoxy resin and a 0.004 inch layer  thickness.  We are now looking to expand into the rapid tooling  arena.  Current projects include investment casting of  prototype injection molds and other components.  We would be  very interested in hearing about others experience with small  parts and rapid tooling.
