ABSTRACT
The JP-System 5 (JP-5) is perhaps the simplest of all rapid prototyping (RP) processes. The JP-5 is nothing more (and nothing less) that a pen plotter that uses a knife blade and label paper instead of pens and draft paper. The JP-5 is manufactured by Schroff Development, Inc., and provides possibly one of the most economical bases for rapid prototyping on the market today. The system is a table-top unit, as is shown in Figure 2.1.
