ABSTRACT
The Sanders Model Maker (MM) series captures the essence of the ink-jet printing technology, and builds in a layer-by-layer fashion, similar to other rapid prototyping (RP) systems. The MM uses several different types of data file formats but has only one base type for the build and support materials, wax. The MM was developed by Sanders Prototype, Inc. (SPI), a subsidiary of Sanders Design in Wilton, NH, in the early 1990s with the intention of revolutionizing the industry as it pertains to accuracy and precision.
