Dear$B!!(BSir,

Next$B!!(BYear we Japanese plan to do International confference, if you attend
it, you can get the inforamation about these.

Hristos,

We are developing ceramic filled photoresins for fabrication of cermic
parts by stereolithography. If you are interested I can provide a
summary paper covering technical challenges, cost analysis and pictures
of parts we have made using our SLA250.

Similar work was done at U. of Mich (Halloran) and Princeton U.
(Aksay). You can probably get to those internet sites with a keyword
search.

The 1997 SFF Texas Symposium proceedings has a couple of papers that
might be of interest: "Silica Filled Resins for Rapid SLA Tools" from
Clemson U.; and "A Layered-Manufacturing Process for the Fabrication of
Glass Fiber-Reinforced Composites" from U. of Toronto; and
"Stereolithography of Ceramics" from U. of Tokyo.

The JTEC/WTEC Report('95/'96) on Rapid Prototyping in Japan and Europe
gives brief descriptions of efforts by Teijin-Seiki and D-MEC on using
filled resins in stereolithography to improve thermal conductivity,
hardness, etc.. I think this document is still posted on the internet.

Good Luck,

Walter Zimbeck
