Abstract
RPC (Rapid Prototyping Chemicals) was founded in 1997 by a group of former collaborators of the Ciba-Geigy research center in Marry. The company is ac tive in the development and fabrication of materials for the rapid prototyp ing industry and has already commercialized several high-performance resins for stereolithography. These materials are characterized by rapid polymeri zation by laser light. The development process is based on both the evaluat ion of resin reactivity and the mechanical properties of the final products . New materials are under development for higher temperature resistance and improved fracture toughness. Production, quality control and distribution are handled from the same location.
