Drawing from cutting edge research, this interesting text is a comprehensive insight into the very latest developments in advanced manufacturing technologies. The papers, which are from a conference organised by Lancaster University have been reviewed by a panel of recognized academic experts from a number of universities.Contents include: design and manufacture of drilling guides for osseointegrated implants using rapid prototyping techniques; a study of build accuracy of the Z-corps three-dimensional printing technique and related seepage control; rapid tools for injection moulding; direct laser sintering of ceramics; fabrication of EDM electrodes using rapid prototyping techniques; CNC as a rapid prototyping method - a company perspective; the useful application of rapid technologies especially for automotive development; virtual prototyping brings 'revolution' to a small engineering business; and, rapid and virtual prototyping are fundamental tools in the design, development and manufacturing of a divergency of products. This important volume is vital reading for anyone interested in keeping up-to-date with the developments in this key area of manufacturing. It is also enlightening reading for researchers and new users of these technologies.
