Subject: Information on seminar
To rapid prototypers wherever you are
Some of you may be interested in the one day seminar mentioned below:
		
		Reduced Time-To-Market through the Integration
		 of CAD,CAE and Fast Free-Form Fabrication
			28 October 1994
		Institution of Mechanical Engineers,
		1, Birdcage Walk London, SW1H 9JJ, UK

Aims & Content
--------------
Through a series of presentations the seminar will show how the integration 
of CAD, CAE and Fast Free Form Fabrication (FFFF) can be adopted by industry
to increase effectiveness and reduce cost and time taken for product 
development. Manufacturing methods using models produced by rapid 
prototyping systems will also be presented. The presentations will include
understanding gained from research and development carried out in a EUREKA 
project, CARP (Computer Aided Rapid Prototyping).

In addition to the formal presentations there will be an accompanying 
exhibition showing some of the practical results from the CARP project
