Dear Mark,
Have you checked out my book, "Automated Fabrication?" It is also several
years old, but most of the information is still current, except the specific
machine specs. There are also technical chapters on the physics and chemistry
behind laser curing and laser sintering. You can see a description at
http://www.Ennex.com/Expertise/book.htm, and you can find the names of some
instructors that have used it in university courses at
http://www.Ennex.com/Expertise/book.htm#courses. Prentice Hall used to publish
it at $76, but Ennex has now taken the rights back and issued a paperback
edition at only $35. You might find it serves your needs very well.
Best regards,
Marshall Burns
