I update this about once a year and put it back out to the list so here it
is again..............

Contact the Rapid Prototyping Association (RPA) of SME, phone (313) 271-1500,
fax (313) 271-2861, and ask for Nancy Gurney, RPA/SME association manager.
She
will send you a Bibliography of Rapid Prototyping Resources, which lists
books,
articles, technical papers, etc., that were published from 1990 through 1993.
A new version (with abstracts) will be available in early '95. Nancy can tell
you when. At one time, it was available free of charge to RPA/SME members

Another RP/SFF book is entitled "Solid Freeform Manufacturing - Advanced Rapid
Manufacturing," edited by Detlef Kochan, University of Dresden (Germany),
published by Elsevier Science Publishers (The Netherlands) 1993, This book is
volume 19 in a series on Manufacturing Research and Technology. The address
for this publication is
