Dear all,
(Utrecht,NL / Dearborn,USA - Sept 6, 2000) Delft Spline Systems is very
proud to announce that an article written by Lex Lennings, president of
Delft Spline Systems, has been selected by the Society of Manufacturing
Engineers for publication as an SME Technical Paper.
The article is titled
"Selecting Either Layered Manufacturing or CNC Machining to Build Your
Prototype"
and is now published as SME Technical Paper No. PE00-171.
It has been originally written for the Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing
2000 Conference, earlier this year in Rosemont (USA).
Lex Lennings addresses any designer who needs a physical prototype and any
manager who has to decide about Rapid Prototyping (RP) processes. He gives
the following abstract for his paper:
"Two fundamentally different methods are currently available for Rapid
Prototyping: Layered Manufacturing Technology (additive) and CNC milling
(subtractive). In order to create a prototype using RP, a designer will
have to chose one of both methods. This paper gives guidelines for choosing
the most appropriate method."
SME publishes these Technical Papers to record and preserve technical
manufacturing knowledge, serving its members and the international
manufacturing community.
The paper can be ordered from the SME at
