Clearinghouse Holiday Schedule The MEMS Clearinghouse will be closed at 3pm, 22 Dec. 95 through 1 Jan. 96. All messages received by the Clearinghouse during this time will be queued and then processed on 2 Jan. 96. UCLA Short Course on Rapid Prototyping: "Rapid Prototyping: Technologies and Applications" 22-24 Jan. 96, UCLA Campus, Los Angeles, Calif. Instructors: Mr. Jerome L. Johnson, J-TECH, Inc., Mr. Adam L. Cohen, Soligen, Inc., Dr. Paul F. Jacobs, 3D Systems, Inc., and Mr. Sung Pak, Helisys, Inc. This course presents a unified description of all rapid prototyping technologies based on their fundamental principles. The organization and descriptions are presented from the perspective of choosing a technology for a specific market need or application. Such questions as what technologies are capable of meeting the market needs and how will other technologies compete as they are refined are addressed. Performance limits are described in terms of the physical limits of materials, processes, or the transport of energy and mass.
