What to read after Rapid Prototyping?

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of rapid prototyping (RP) processes. RP has revolutionized the landscape of how prototypes are made and small batch manufacturing is carried out. The strategies used to produce a part using rapid prototyping alter a number of considerations and limitations previously faced by tool designers and engineers. This book highlights the key RP processes, their available models and specifications and describes their principles, materials, advantages and disadvantages. Manufacturing examples are given and related problems are also included so that the reader can test his or her understanding of the topics. A CD-ROM, included at the back of the book, presents an animated illustration of the working principles of some of today's key RP processes.
