3 Situation of stereolithography technology in Japan Completion Popularity Acrylate He-Cd UV LASER Long 1 St Generation Epoxy/Oxetane/Acrylate hybrid Epoxy/Acrylate hybrid Ar+ UV LASER R&D of systems Test introduction Solid state UV LASER Short 2 nd Gen. Cost Quality Practical introduction Steady state, 3 rd Gen. Value add, User friendly Common equipment Year

4 Why stereolithography is important in Japan? Originally born in Japan Well balanced RP system Accuracy, quality, post-processing etc. Easy to make ACCURATE prototype in reasonable period Accuracy is very important in Japan. Most effective tool for R&D in Japan Reduce developing cost and time Customers can use a various type of resins. Durable resin, high temperature resin, rubber like resin, water resist resin, and etc.
