Hello,

Welcome to the Prototype Zone 7 Day Ecourse. I’m glad you decided
to join our Rapid Prototyping Technologies Ecourse and I’m looking
forward to the next few days of learning all about Rapid
Prototyping Technologies.

Throughout these next few days, we will cover the most popular
types of technologies that are being used today with Rapid
Prototyping. Prototyping and Rapid Prototyping is among one of the
cutting edge technologies today and its only a matter of time
before it becomes mainstream. You are on the leading edge of
something great.

The Rapid Prototyping Technologies that we are going to cover are:
EBM – Electron Beam Melting
SLS – Selective Laser Sintering
LOM – Laminated Object Manufacturing
FDM – Fused Deposition Modeling
SLA – Stereolithography

The technologies above may look and sound a little difficult, but
over the next few days we will break these complex terms down to
speak your language and make sure by the end of this course, you
have a brief understanding of Rapid Prototyping Technologies.

Tomorrow we will get started with our first Rapid Prototpying
Technology: Electron Meam Melting or EBM. Before tomorrow, take
some time to think about Rapid Prototyping and write down a few
things you would like to get out of this course.

If you are brand new to Prototyping and Rapid Prototyping, go and
visit our new community Prototyping Site at www.prototpyezone.com
to start gathering more information on prototyping before the
course starts tomorrow. It will be good to have a basic
understanding of Prototyping and Rapid Prototyping definitions
before we get into the technologies.

You can find good definitions at the www.prototypezone.com website.

See you Tomorrow,
Ivan Irons

Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo can find one or multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to finished product quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for engineering, design, prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing, assembly and electronic manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking for one part or production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to choose.  AmCon offers attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of manufacturing options, both new and traditional, and find the best processes and materials for specific applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that have been produced for other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current projects and compare quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a few hours. Only AmCon shows provide a “hands on” one-on-one education.

The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant. The Grand Rapids, Michigan event will be held at DeVos Place on September 17-18, 2008. The Top 10 Reasons to attend this event are:

1.  Save valuable time.  Meet scores of the finest local and national contract manufacturers exhibiting thousands of samples of custom parts and services.

2.  See the latest in manufacturing technology.

3.  Let the manufacturing experts help solve tough design and production problems.

4.  Shorten the buying process.  Meet with top management and technical personnel staffing the booths.

5.  Get immediate action.  It is not unusual for exhibitors to fax RFQ’s to their office and have quotes back before attendees leave the show.

6.   Get quotes from several sources at once for upcoming and current projects.

7.  Compare current suppliers to see how they measure up in cost, quality, and lead time.

8.  Attend free technical seminars; sending buyers to learn about a variety of processes.

9.  Let exhibitors educate buyers.

10.  Admission to exhibits and seminars is absolutely FREE.

According to Kati Olson, President, “We are excited to be returning to the Michigan market for this show later this month. AmCon is the only show in Michigan specifically targeting OEM engineering and purchasing professionals who are looking for job shop and contract manufacturing services. Highly qualified prospects, often with blueprints in hand, will come from throughout Michigan, and northern Indiana.”
