Re: [rp-ml] Ceramic structures using RP

We may be investigating the Ceramic in the near future on the
following machine. So far we've processed 316L Stainless Steel and
comercially pure Titanium.

http://www.mcp-group.de/download/mcp_realizer_monitor.pdf

There's a nice example of our work in 316L in the Professional
Engineering from ImechE centre page in the Osprey metal powders
article. The part is a 17.5*17.5*10mm lattice structure.
