Thanks Terry,
With that known, does anyone have some gently used JP-5 systems they would
like to get rid of? Our local HBCU university was hoping to do some
educational development work with a few of them.

Ken,
Schroff Development sold its last JP5 System in 2001 when it sold five of
them. The company no longer sells them today. Over the past few years,
Schroff has transitioned to becoming a CAD textbook publisher.
You may find a used JP5 System on the market. A total of 172 were sold, with
64 systems sold in 1997 alone. It was a good process for teaching the
concept of manufacturing models by layer, so schools liked them. Some
companies also benefited from the JP5 and at least one of them was able to
build certain parts with it faster than with an SLA 250. And with a price of
$7,500 to $10,500 for a JP5 System, the difference in cost was dramatic.
Perhaps someone should explore the possibility of bringing a similar paper
lamination device back to the market place.
Best regards,
Terry

Are there any JP5 Systems still being sold? The web site at Schroff seems
to lead otherwise...
