Sheet Lamination





    ◦ Sheet lamination can be split into two technologies; laminated object

       manufacturing (LOM) and ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM).

    ◦ Laminated object manufacturing is suited to creating items with visual or

       aesthetic appeal and uses alternate layers of paper and adhesive. UAM

       uses ultrasonic welding to join thin metal sheets; a low energy, low

       temperature process, UAM can be used with various metals such as
       aluminium, stainless steel and titanium.
