About the Book: Advanced Applications of Rapid Prototyping Technology in Modern
Engineering
Rapid prototyping (RP) technology has been widely known and appreciated due to
its flexible and customized manufacturing capabilities. The widely studied RP
techniques include stereolithography apparatus (SLA), selective laser sintering
(SLS), three-dimensional printing (3DP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), 3D
plotting, solid ground curing (SGC), multiphase jet solidification (MJS),
laminated object manufacturing (LOM). Different techniques are associated with
different materials and/or processing principles and thus are devoted to
specific applications. RP technology has no longer been only for prototype
building rather has been extended for real industrial manufacturing solutions.
Today, the RP technology has contributed to almost
