Laminated Object Manufacturing Information (LOM) Information
and Definition and how it’s used in Rapid Prototyping.

Laminated Object Manufacturing or LMO is a system used for
rapid prototyping. It consists of adhesive ? coated layers of plastic or paper
that are stuck together with the help of glue and then cut into an appropriate
shape with the help of a laser cutter or a knife.

Learn about Casting Patterns and the different types of
Casting Patterns

A casting pattern is
basically a shaped form of either metal or wood where sand is packed around it
in the mold. When this pattern is removed, the resulting cavity would be
exactly the shape of the pattern object that was to be cast. The casting
pattern should however be designed in order to be easily removed without any
damage done to the mold. The pattern should be also be perfectly dimensioned
and should be very durable for the intended use. The patterns that are used in
sand casting can be made of plastic, metal, wood or any other material. The
casting patterns are made to the right standards of construction this is
basically because they can last for a reasonable time. The durability of the
pattern would however depend according to the quality of grade in the casting
pattern. If the pattern is made of right quality then they would be constantly
providing dimensionally perfect casting patterns.
