It seems as if this message board is doing its job. I am receiving a fare
amount of response to my earlier request.
A couple of notes:
Christian Nelson from DTM Corporation:
I am limiting my project to just one selected RP method, in this case SLA.
Although Bradley University does not have an SLA, I have access to a 250 model
through my employer, Caterpillar Inc. I am quickly learning that there a
plethora of routes to arrive at metal prototype parts. I am interested in
trying to quantify the impact on the design cycle, time to market, and cost
per part for die casted parts using SLA as a method of prototyping for proof
parts. I am trying to limit the scope of this project for time considerations.
Brad Fox - Rapid Design Technologies and Rapid Tooling Technologies:
Thanks for the response. It is good to see graduates of Bradley University are
farring well. There is hope! Yes I do know John Howarter. He and I have been
working together in the beginning stages of my research, although I haven't
talked to him for a couple of months now due to travel schedules. I will ask
him about you the next time he and I talk.
