Demonstrate SLA process planning capabilities
Demonstrate SLA process planning capabilities that combine adaptive slicing and 
orientation concerns with trade-offs among build time, surface finish, and accuracy. 
 When building a part on SLA machine, sometimes a designer is interested in the best 
surface finish available, sometimes the most accurate part, and sometimes he just 
wants the part as soon as possible.  Until now, it has not been possible to investigate 
trade-offs among such varied objectives.  We have demonstrated how adaptive slicing 
and orientation determination can be combined with multiobjective optimization to 
provide the capability to investigate trade-offs among time, finish, and accuracy.  This 
work has been integrated into the Rapid Tooling Testbed.
