Abstract

Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) process is one of rapid prototyping technology which is used to manufacture 3D dimensional solid object with sheet lamination process. The unique feature of this technology is its capacity to manufacture complicated geometrical parts with less cost of fabrication and operational time. Starting from 1980s, LOM process has been studied by many scholars and come up with promising outcomes. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate the overall idea and general working principle of LOM process and to review the existing technology on paper, composite and metals. In addition to this, current project of 3D metal printer with its extended future research has been discussed.
