Essay / Research Paper Abstract
Layer manufacturing is the use of computer controlled and latest Materials and forming processes in building the physical model layer by layer based on a digital model. The 10 page model looks at three different systems that make use of layer manufacturing; the Thermojet Printer by 3D systems, The Perfactory Concept Modeler from Envisiontech and the ProMetal Rapid Tooling System. The bibliography cites 3 sources.

but are designed to be use to see form and fit without any strength required. This system make use of multi-jet modelling with a resolution of 300 mm x
400 mm x 6000 DPI. The system makes use of specialised material developed especially for this machine,, called ThermoJet 2000 and ThermoJet 88 these are thermoplastic materials. They are available
in three colours; grey, black and a neutral colour. The material is actually a Polyamide composite and is designed especially for Selective Laser Sintering 3D Systems (3D Systems, 2003).
The maximum natural capacity is 5.9 kilograms and the cartridges loaded with the material are of a 2.3 kilogram capacity. The maximum
model size is 150 mm x 190 mm x 200 mm (3D Systems, 2003). The way in which the system is interfaced is more flex bale to some
other systems able to use TCP/IP protocol as well as Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX network however there is the requirement for a RJ-45 connector (3D Systems, 2003). There are
a range of graphic supported, these include HP -UX v 10.2 ACE from Hewlett Packard, IRIX v6.5.2 from Silicon graphics, RS/6000 AIX v4.3.2 from IBM and Solaris v2.6.0 from
Sun Microsystems, all of these will require OpenGL. Various windows formats are also used, including NT, 98, 2000 and Millennium (3D Systems, 2003). The system is designed to
be used by non specialists, there is a build platform that acts as the basis for the build, this can be seen as the equivalent of the paper. The ThermoJet
material is then the equivalent of the ink which is built up layer by layer. The process is also one that does create waste, but this is contained in a
