CHICAGO, April 11 /PRNewswire/ --
Precision Optical Manufacturing (POM) Company, Inc. has introduced a new technique that provides manufacturers with the capability to produce fully dense metal prototypes. The DMP(TM) (Direct Metal Prototype) technique, introduced today at Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing 2000, is akin to the conventional stereolithographic (SLA) technology used to produce plastic prototype parts. However, DMP(TM) enables users to produce fully functional, 100-percent dense, near net-shaped parts from tool steels, aluminum, copper and other metallic materials ... directly from a solid model CAD design. And, unlike the selective laser ...
