Dear Ian Gibson,
It is good to hear about a new RP Internet conference.
I would like to join and even could write a paper, but I cannot find the
right slot for this:
SELECTING THE RIGHT PROCESSES FOR MAKING PRECISION PROTOTYPES OF
ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS
Regards
Juergen Bauer
P.S:
"Precision protoptyping" would be the logical answer to issue
"7 large scale prototyping"
in your list. Why not address the low end of the dimension scale, too ?

> Proposed topics for inclusion in the Internet conference:-
>
> 1. RP and art
> 2. RP and architecture
> 3. Safety issues concerning RP equipment
> 4. What's in a name? Is Rapid Prototyping the best term to use?
> 5. RP for medical applications
> 6. The US$20k machine
> 7. Large scale prototyping
> 8. Is RP rapid enough?
> 9. Rapid tooling
> 10. The rapid prototyping wish list
> 11. Software standards for RP
> 12. Integration of RP with other processes
> If you would be prepared to champion one of the above discussion areas

> included above then let me know and I will modify the list.
