Metal LOM not SLS

Just wanted to clear up some confusion. Javelin is working with metals
on the Laminated Object Manufacturing system. We do not work with the
Selective Laser Sintering system.

I have had several email messages that have confused our process with the
SLS metals process. We use flexible, polymer-filled metal or ceramic
tapes that we manufacture as the feedstock for our LOM machine. The LOM
uses a laser to cut the contour of the part. There is no "rastering" or
"laser sintering" of the materials.

Thanks
