Beyond Stereolithography: Functional Aluminum & Plastic Prototypes
Paul Armstrong, Armstrong Plastic Mold Corp.  www.armstrongmold.com

By marrying the new rapid prototyping modeling techniques with traditional crafts based casting and tooling approaches, it is now possible to get high quality, spec material metal and plastic prototypes in 2-3 weeks at relatively low cost. This seminar will take you from CAD concept thru finished prototype parts.

Does Rapid Prototyping Make Sense for Your Business?
Bill Watson, Anvil Prototype & Design www.anvilprototype.com

  • Could you use rapid prototyping in your department to gain a competitive advantage?
  • Are you thinking about prototyping for the first time and wondering what method is best for you?
  • Do you outsource and want to investigate bringing RP in-house?
  • Do you have aging equipment and need to convince management to upgrade?

Rapid prototyping is no longer used as just a final representation of your product at the end of concept development.  It is now utilized in all areas of engineering, manufacturing, marketing and sales in an ever-expanding range of industries.  Your competitors are probably investigating or already using rapid prototyping. Shouldn’t you? This seminar will cover how companies now use prototyping and the current state of the RP industry. You will learn how to financially justify prototyping and better use it to increase your business, whether you are new to the technology or a seasoned user.
