‘Stereolithography’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Stereolithography model brings Leonardo to life from
Huntsman Advanced Materials, which we summarised at the time by saying "Huntsman Advanced Materials provided the advanced technologies and innovative materials needed to build a high-quality stereolithography model of a rare 6.7m-long fossil.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release SLA system produces professional parts from
Moog FCS: "Durable plastic parts promise unprecedented surface smoothness, feature resolution, edge definition and tolerances that rival the accuracy of CNC-machined plastic parts.".
In August 2008, we covered the news from DSM Somos
- take a look at SL rapid tooling provides ideal system approach
which says: "A leading French service bureau has used NanoTool to make production tools for the injection moulding of pill dispensers for the medical industry.".
Take a look also at the news release from EOS Electro Optical Systems (UK), Plastic meets aerospace requirements,
as well as Stereolithography material handles the heat from DSM Somos,
and Data verification eases digital design from Elysium.
