Mark,
we just published a global book on RP in France... but it is in french.
But, there are all the technologies, with a brief historical, and many
under development, with also some elements on CAD applications and reverse
engineering. Prosesses of rapid and direct tooling are also described.
Of course, there are also many data on case studies and succes stories in
many application fields, with web sites.
If intersted, please let me know.
I think that other people in US have written book on RP (for example
Marshall Burns). I know there are connected to this list. Perhaps, you
should contac Terry Wolhers web site, or Franck Lacan Web site.
You can also contact JTEC who has made a report some years ago and RP and
developments.
Do not hesitate to contact me if any comments or if you are interested to
exchange on experiences on training in RP field. I address many conferences
and trainings for different kinds of students and industrial people.
Best Regards,
Prof. A. BERNARD
