Laminated Object Manufacturing or LMO is a system used for rapid prototyping. It consists of adhesive - coated layers of plastic or paper that are stuck together with the help of glue and then cut into an appropriate shape with the help of a laser cutter or a knife.
How does Laminated Object Manufacturing Work? The LMO is used to manufacture 3 - D objects that are cut on the basis of the geometrical data that is available with the system. The laser that is used in the LMO is a carbon dioxide laser that is capable of creating cross sections of 3 - D objects successively, from layers of foil, usually paper. The back of the 3 - D object that is created has a polyethylene coating on it.
