sintered sand for moulds, also direct metal tooling fabrication
Ability to incorporate components during build
July 2011: Small aircraft made entirely on a laser sintering machine can fly at 100mph [3]
Additive fabrication advantages
- Continuously varying material - Objet has already
- Colour (Z-Corp)
- Geometry impossible using any other process.
- 3D internal patterning
- True multimaterial (to come)
- Complex objects can be made as cheaply as simple ones
- No labour
