Construction of prototype components in metal, forms component from flat layers alternately metal and solder, which are stacked and clamped before heating to form solid component

摘要

The component is modelled in layers around a stacking axis. Layers are alternately of metal (12) or of a soldering agent (14), and are formed flat in both cases. The layers are stacked, clamped and heated to solder the layers together, forming a solid prototype component.
