Solid Freeform Fabrication: A New Direction in Manufacturing with Research and Applications in Thermal Laser Processing

Solid Freeform Fabrication is a set of manufacturing processes that are capable of producing complex freeform solid objects directly from a computer model of an object without part-specific tooling or knowledge. In essence, these methods are miniature manufacturing plants which come complete with ma...
