Abstract The laminated object manufacturing (LOM) rapid prototyping process was adapted for fabricating monolithic ceramics, and continuous fiber ceramic matrix composites (CMC) using a curved layer building style. The ceramic LOM process holds promise for lowering the cost of fabricating monolithic and CMC parts by virtue of its automation, which reduces fabrication time and eliminates the need for tooling. The process can be best applied by industry as a product development tool for fabricating testable prototypes, or for small lot production. [References: 7] XX
