         I have heard of a technique that operates well in this size range,
         but it is from a reference paper which I have buried. The method I
         am thinking of (if I rember correctly) operates in a vacuum, works
         on ceramic and metalic materials, and, of course, does not do well
         with sizes above a certain limit. If you are interested enough with
         these limitations let me know something about your application and
         I will dig up the reference and I would be interested in working on
         it with you..

     Has anyone out there heard of any rp systems that can build a layer
     thickness in the 5-10 micron range. Someone at this company remembers
     some discussion about ultra thin layers. I have had some success with
     .0025" layers with my SLA-250 but anything smaller would be difficult
     with my current setup.

     I know 5-10 micron layers sounds like a stretch, make that a leap, but
     please let me know if anyone has heard of any work or discussions in
     this area.

     On another matter, I don't see why people feel the need to send a
     message to the entire rp-ml to point out a problem with an attached
     file. I think most people could see that there was a problem and that
     attaching a file doesn't work. A friendly, private reply to the poor
     unfortunate soul that had the nerve to make a mistake would probably
     suffice.

     Building up sure beats tearing down!
