3D printers, Rapid Modelmaking - Six 3D Printers Speed Things Up. We have been using stereolithography (SLA) and FDM (fusion deposition modeling) for rapid prototyping for quite... some time at Omnica. SLA is still the best method for large parts, but for most of the rapid prototyping we do, Fused Deposition Modeling, and more recently, Polymer-Jet 3D printing... to invest in the relatively new process. In the past few years, these and other 3D printers have become much more affordable. We now have six rapid prototyping machines. We...

This was a perfect opportunity to use our new RP (rapid prototyping) machine, the SolidScape Modelmaker II . First, we designed the master orb patterns...
