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.
