  1. Laminated Object Manufacturing By Allison Fletcher Computer Integrated Manufacturing Period 2B

  2. The Process • Layer fabrication starts with sheet being adhered to substrate with the heated roller. • The laser then traces out the outline of the layer. • Non-part areas are cross-hatched to facilitate removal of waste material. • Once the laser cutting is complete, the platform moves down and out of the way so that fresh sheet material can be rolled into position. • Once new material is in position, the platform moves back up to one layer below its previous position. • The process can now be repeated.

  3. Benefits of LOM • Layers of glue-backed paper form the model. • Low cost: Raw material is readily available. • Large parts: Because there is no chemical reaction involved, parts can be made quite large. • Outside of model, cross-hatching removes material • Models should be sealed in order to prohibit moisture. • Before sealing, models have a wood-like texture.

  5. Definitions • Additive-Adding material to an object usually layer by layer. Can be used as a synonym for rapid prototyping. • Subtractive-removing away of materials such as with mills, lathes, and drills • Compressive-compress large files to make them smaller. • Slice File-Slice Files are a unique type of file; they contain (or reference) a single piece of sample data, have a list of markers denoting "slices" of the sample, and also have a set of parameters such as tempo and time signature.
