Abstract:
A rapid prototype modeling system operates to first electronically decompose a discrete part represented by an STL file into thick layers, which are then electronically sliced into cross sectional slices the thickness of a sheet of construction material. The slices are cut from sheets of the construction material in a pattern which permits construction of the layers by stacking the sheets. The layers are then stacked appropriately to create a physical model of the discrete part.
