Layered Manufacturing
(a quick look
Layered Manufacturing)
Layered Manufacturing is the speedy fabrication
of sample parts for demonstration, evaluation,
or testing. Layered Manufacturing typically
utilizes advanced layer manufacturing technologies
that can quickly generate complex three-dimensional
objects directly from computer-based models
. This computer representation is sliced into
two-dimensional layers, whose descriptions are
sent to the fabrication equipment to build the
part layer by layer. Layered Manufacturing includes
many different fabrication technologies. Stereolithography
(SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), laminated
object manufacturing (LOM), and fused deposition
modeling (FDM) are a few examples of Layered
Manufacturing.
