How to Find Articles... Once you've done your search, here's how to find the complete article.

We DO NOT supply papers, dissertations or trade publication articles. Please contact appropriate libraries, authors or publishers to obtain materials.

A search of this database may be made using single or multiple keywords or phrases, boolean expressions and several other ways. Click on the HELP page link above for other search strategies. Search for strings of characters or expressions by enclosing the term in quotes, e.g., "rapid prototyping." Keywords may include technologies, author names, institutional or corporate affiliations, etc. University and country names may be abbreviated in unexpected ways. Annual TOC pages containing keywords will also appear in the search results.

Searches may be case sensitive. It's also possible to obtain different results when performing a string search with or without quotation marks surrounding a keyword, for example, "stereolithography" versus stereolithography.

Author names may be in many forms. First names may or may not be included; initials of first names may occur at the beginning or at the end of names; punctuation is variable. Searching on the last name alone without using quotation marks will yield the highest number of hits.

Use British and American spellings of words such as mold (mould), biomodeling (biomodelling), etc.

What's Included? There are nearly 6,000 references in the complete database at present covering the period 1984 through 2006. Updates for the year 2000 and later include numerous backfill materials for prior years. These citations cover all aspects of RP, including systems, materials, software and applications. You may browse the titles of all citations by year using the links below. Note that if you are searching for a particular publication in this way, it may not be listed in its precise year of publication. Search the years prior and following publication to be thorough, and keep in mind that updates for 2000 and later contain numerous backfills for ALL prior years.

The database includes:

Abstracts of the Solid Freeform Fabrication Proceedings for the years 1990 through 2006. More than 1,000 papers trace the development of many rapid prototyping technologies from inception through commercialization. Detailed analysis of systems, materials and software are covered, as well as surveys of RP activities in specific geographic areas, industries and education. The Proceedings are the permanent record of the Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium held annually at the University of Texas at Austin. This database archive is presently the only means available to electronically search the Proceedings. We'd like to thank Dr. David Bourell and Ms. Rosalie Foster of the University of Texas for making the materials available.

Abstracts of articles from Time-Compression Technologies Magazine from the present through 1999 are now available. TCT is a trade magazine with a wide engineering circulation. Almost 200 articles discuss the business and practical aspects of rapid prototyping and other time-compression methods. Numerous forward-looking research papers are also an important aspect of this archive. Thanks to former Editor Christina Fuges and CTI Publishing for permitting us to make the material available.

Comprehensive material from Clemson University's Laboratory to Advance Industrial Prototyping, including abstracts of dissertation and many graduate and undergraduate research reports. Thanks very much to Elaine Hunt, Director, for making the material available to the RP community.

Please see the tutorial for suggestions on obtaining complete articles, and finding libraries and authors.
