Boxford Co. (UK) The company offers a low-cost software package called RapidPRO which can slice an STL file and lay it out for automatic layer fabrication on a vinyl sign cutter. The layers are subsequently assembled manually.

CAM-LEM, Inc. Creates ceramic and metal components directly from layers of laser-cut "green" sheet material using an automated cut-then-stack process.

Cubic Technologies, Inc. Successor organization to Helisys, first company to market LOM technology. Supporting Helisys machines, supplying materials and acting as a service bureau.

CustomLam This process is being developed by Custom Motion Inc., and is similar to offerings by Zimmermann of Germany and Stratoconception of France.

Fast4m offers a laminated tooling process for building injection molds, lost-foam molds, and similar items such as compression molds. Conformal and flood cooling techniques are specialties of the company, and molds can be built from steel or aluminum.

Kinergy Pte., Ltd. (Singapore) Makes systems that use paper material or plastics, with a very large working envelope. The company also makes both multi-functional fused deposition modeling and laminated object manufacturing machines, and dedicated FDM systems.

Kira Corporation (Japan) The company provides Paper Layer Technology (PLT). It's similar to LOM, but the layers of paper are cut with a knife instead of a laser. The company also has a web-site devoted exclsuively to rapid prototyping. See RapidMockup.

Mcor Technologies (Ireland) The company's Matrix machine uses selective adhesion of paper layers cut with a knife. Similar to Kira PLT technology described above, but lower in cost.

Menix Engineering Co., Ltd. (Korea) The company's VLM-300 Rapid Shaper LOM machine is based on technology developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. It uses multi-axis hot-wire cutting of foam to make parts in a semi-automated process. (In Korean.)

Solidica The provides a laminated fabrication approach that is based on CNC cutting of aluminum strip material. The strips are bonded together ultrasonically to form the final part. Applications range from tooling to composites.

Solido Ltd. (Israel) (Formerly Solidimension.) The technology bonds layers of plastic film to form objects and is small enough to fit on a desk. The company's products are distributed in the US by 3D Systems.

Stratoconception® This is a CNC technique applied to thick layer LOM. Layers are machined from metals or any other final materials and bonded together mechanically. The method allows wide material selection, lowers the stairstepping effect and is said to produce inexpensive parts. Some of the objects shown on their web-site are quite extraordinary. The technology is being commercialized by the French company rp2i SA which also acts as a service bureau. It was developed by CIRTES (France), the European Research Center of Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Tooling.

Toyoda Machine Works (Japan) The company produces LOM systems under license from Helisys, or its legally surviving US entity. (In Japanese and some English.)

Wuhan Benha Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd. (China) Also makes selective laser sintering and stereolithography equipment. (In Chinese.)
