Hi Franck,
My company had a joint rapid tooling venture with the National
Research Council of Canada to produce Polycarbonate parts in a SLA Mold.
We were the first in the world to do so and I presented a Paper on the
subject at the First Asia Pacific Rapid Product Development Conference
last year in Brisbane, Australia.
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers reproduced parts of the
Paper in their Rapid Prototyping Report. Both the paper and article can
be viewed at our website listed below. I would be pleased to help you out
on any other information you require.
Best Regards,
Michael Wilson
