"User's Guide to Rapid Prototyping" is the first text of this technology and process that I have read. Since everything it presents as a process is new as compared to the established processes that I am more familiar with, every section provided new information and practical knowledge to my reading effort. There is no better way to learning a methodology than to physically perform it but with this book and a decent manufacturing background, even a novice prototyper can sow a fertile field of choices to producing quick samples or short production runs avoiding expensive alternatives. The author properly compliments the many contributors who supplied real world application studies. He ends the text with a complete glossary and index which with both together, upgrades this "user guide" to a formal desk reference. This book will satisfy any technically oriented individual who is seeking an appreciation of this narrowly understood technology. Robert Szyka
