Abstract
Getting to the market first” is extremely critical in this competitive business
environment. The speed at which products are developed and released to the market is tightly linked
to profitability and market share. Many companies that have been very skeptical of Rapid Tooling
technologies developed so far are now working on hybrid tooling (HT) that can really meet the
market standards. This paper describes how the HT process has been successfully established and
effectively applied with ceramic filled SLA (StereoLithography Apparatuses) technologies.
